Prayer to Saint Valentine

The Catholic Church knows and reveres the saints of the three Valentines, and all three lived and died in about one era. "Our" Valentine, the one whom most of us revere, as the Holy One, was Valentin Interaminsky. Of course, millions of girls and boys ask for love in prayers to St. Valentine. But before asking, you need to learn a little about the Holy One.

Legend

The Roman Emperor Claudius II was very angry with the men's low zeal to serve in the army. Then he decided that these wives do not allow them to serve their homeland and forbade men to marry. The only priest who did not obey the ban was Valentine. He secretly crowned the lovers, and, of course, the secret must have been revealed.

Once a prison guard came to him and asked Valentine to help him cure the blindness of his daughter. Valentine gave the ointment to the girl, and also asked the man to come later. At this time, a decree was issued on his arrest and execution. Valentine folded a sheet of paper, put the saffron there and wrote "Your Valentine". He managed to pass this package to a blind girl before the execution. So there were "valentines".

Today, people continue to believe that this Saint is able to help them in the amorous intricacies of fate. Only now they ask him in the words of prayers to St. Valentine.

Prayers

Of course, the treatment of blind girls was not so common in the life of St. Valentine, as helping lovers. That is why, the lion's share of prayers for St. Valentine is about love:

"Saint Valentine,

Who was elected patron of lovers,

Protect young people, especially those who are in love.

Ask them for God's grace,

That they are ripe to love: real, sincere and disinterested.

Take care of lovers and newlyweds

From the crushing fire of passion.

Pray for God for them aspiration

Build the bonds of love

On the foundation of God's commandments.

Ask Christ,

That He Himself was for the lovers of the pointer

And that He himself strengthened them in a moment of weakness.

Amen".
