Dear Alice, Pani Rose, Tammy, Alicia, and all the spiritually beautiful women here on our Forum:

A HAPPY & HEALTHY ST. VALENTINE'S DAY! May it be filled with CHRIST, Who has the biggest heart and the most love for each and everyone of us! May we all model our lives after His...Who loved us so much that He gave His very life for our salvation!

May we give to Our Mother and Our Queen, the Ever-Virgin Mary a 'Valentine' this day...either a Rosary, The Akathist, The Service of
the Small Supplicatory Canon (otherwise known as the Small Paraklesis) to the Most Holy Theotokos, or at the very least three Hail Marys of love for her, who brings us always safely to her Son!

In the Lord Jesus Who loves us,
+Fr. Gregory


+Father Archimandrite Gregory, who asks for your holy prayers!

Bless, Reverend Father,

Any more from you, and I'll fall over my desk from awe - the Pentecostals here will think I'm "slain in the Spirit!"

You are like a new "St Louis de Montfort!"

An Orthodox version, in any event . . .

A wonderful post - God bless you!

Alex

Dear spiritually beautiful women on the forum!

Happy St Valentine's Day!

In Eastern Europe, St Valentine's day is coming into his own as a day "of the heart."

But previously, March 8, or "International Woman's Day" was the day on which women received gifts from men and secret admirers.

March 8th continues to be celebrated by a number of our recent immigrants from the "Old Country."

The name "Valentine" is also popular as a name for men.

Alex

Happy Valentine's Day Friends ! smile

John, chapter 13:34 (RSV):

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

Although Rose is the only one that I have actually seen, I suspect that all the Forum women are lovely ladies. Happy Valentine's to all.

Thank you, Charles. Of course we are! Ummmm shocked

Happy Valentine's Day to all! From>>>>

She -- whose day has been made quite lovely by all of the lovely replies to this post today. I had hoped for such when I started the thread a week ago. All things come to she who waits and, of course, prays.... smile smile smile

Thanks,

Mary Jo...going to dinner and a party honoring this day with sweetheart of 43 years. Yes, Alice, he is also a hopeless romantic. Most of all a gift from...The Giver of good gifts.. smile
