Today is Valentine's day. For Catholics it is the feast of Saint Valentine.
Emperor Claudius II banned marriage for young men because he believed single men made better soldiers (no attachments).
Valentine defied the Empire because he followed the laws of God, not of men.
He married couples in secret by candlelight in the catacombs.
He knew that the State does not own the Family.
He was beaten with clubs and beheaded on February 14, 269 AD.
He died protecting the sacrament of Matrimony.
This sacrament is under attack today from all sides, now more than ever.
Sister Lucia said: "The final battle between Christ and Satan will be over marriage and the family."
So instead of celebrating a secular Valentine's day, celebrate the life of this great saint who was martyred for his love of God.
🚨AMAZING STORY🚨
Seattle #Seahawks pass rusher Derick Hall was born at 23 weeks with no heartbeat and his doctors told his mother he only had a 1% chance of surviving.
Hall’s mother refused to take him off life support and he just had a SACK in the Super Bowl.
Unbelievable.

Deportations are entirely consistent with Christian mercy. Illegal migrants violated the sovereignty of our nation & usurped public services they weren't entitled to, and their only punishment is being sent back home (often with monetary incentives). We're not even depriving them of their liberty or asking them to pay anything back to us. Imagine stealing something from someone and the only "retribution" you face is the government literally offering you money to give it back. We treat almost no class of criminal as mercifully as we do illegal immigrants!
Christ didn’t establish “sects.” He established a Church, with authority to bind and loose on earth with heaven’s authority, i.e. speak for all Christians worldwide.
Unprecedented statement from the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem accusing Christian Zionists of imperiling Christians in the Holy Land and implying that Christian Zionism is a form of idolatry
The passes Bo Nix threw that got rewarded with PI were hilarious. Just straight balloons in the general direction of a receiver.
Gets rewarded with two PIs and a playoff win.
Much of what passes for modern religion comes down to the unscrutinized premise that Christians fundamentally and crucially misunderstood their religion until roughly five minutes ago, when some modern person—though which precise modern person varies—finally figured it out.
