Valentinus: “More Than a Hallmark Hero”
Maybe Valentine's Day is just a "Hallmark holiday" to you. But did you know there was a real St Valentine? He gave his life so others could be married. How much are we willing to sacrifice for our own marriages?

Today marks the anniversary of Perpetua's death. While we're aware of persecution, our first-world bubble makes us forget the plight of suffering Christians. Perpetua went from riches to rags for her faith. Her story strengthens us in case our time ever comes!
