St. Valentine’s Day

Reflection

“Let us remember that love lives through sacrifice and is nourished by giving. Without sacrifice, there is no love.” ~ Saint Maximilian Kolbe

Prayer

Lord of love, today we celebrate love, inspired by the example of Saint Valentine, who was willing to lay down his life for the people he served. Jesus taught that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for a friend. Inspire us by the example of Jesus and saints like Valentine that we might have the courage to sacrifice on behalf of those we love and serve. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on what I am willing to sacrifice for those I love and for those I serve through the ministry of Bon Secours Mercy Health.
