Monday, February 14th

 DAY 2

MORNING PRAYER

February 14th is celebrated as St. Valentine's Day, a day for us to focus on love in our lives. During this year of "A Family of Faith", let us focus on how we show love for families, friends, and our community. 

Loving Father,

We read in the Bible

that the best way to describe you

is to use the word “Love”.

Your love for humankind is so great

that you sent Jesus, your Son,

to live as one of us.

As we embrace our spiritual theme, A Family of Faith,

let us remember to share love with one another

on this St. Valentine’s Day.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen
