No doubts, the memory of Saint
Valentine will remain evergreen in
the annals of the Roman Catholic
Church as a passionate Priest who
risked his life to join several
couples in marriage against the
ruthless order of the then Emperor
Claudius. Far back in the 5th
century, the emperor needed
more men in the army and felt
their allegiance to their spouses
and children was distracting them,
so he outlawed marriage and
compelled young men to join the
army. St Valentine discovered that
the insensitive decree was ungodly
and it was promoting sexual
immorality. He felt moved by
passion and was conducting
weddings for intending young men
against the wicked order of
Emperor Claudius to avoid them
sleeping around. The priest was
arrested and jailed. He was
(according to oral traditions) killed
on February 14, 259 or 269 (about
1,747 years ago)...
Valentine's Day HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH WILD PARTIES, ILLICIT
SEX, WASTEFUL SPENDINGS AND
ALL FORMS OF UNGODLINESS. IN
THE CONTRARY, THE MAN, ST
VALENTINE DIED WHILE
PREVENTING THOSE VICES!

From my many encounters with
various young boys and girls, too
many people lost their virginity on
Valentine's Day! Many abortions!
Unscrupulous dates/datings,
senseless giving and taking of rings
and rose flowers.... What a world
of many fantasies, vanities, illusions
and phantasies! That this year's
Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday
further heightens the temptation
since it's a work-free day! On
14/2/2016, the destinies of many
young girls will be bought with a
pack of ice cream or a blackberry
phone! Jesus loves you and so you
should also live for Him! If the
man: St Valentine is in heaven
now, why must you go to hell
while celebrating his memory?

Thanks OP for sharing this thought.

How are we sure Valentine was a saint? How are we sure he is in heaven o.
How are we sure our good deeds will earn us heaven.Dont be too sure esp if its not in the bible.
