Honor St. Valentine by performing a charitable act: Visit the sick or elderly Donate to a food pantry Offer your time to someone in need These acts reflect Christ’s selfless love, making your celebration truly meaningful. 4. Cook a Special Meal & Pray as a Family 🍽️🕊️ Prepare a meal together and set a beautiful table with candles to symbolize Christ’s light. Before eating, say a prayer of thanksgiving and read a passage from the Bible about love. Consider a reading from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7—the famous passage on love! 5. Renew Your Love & Commitment in Marriage 💍✝️ For married couples, St. Valentine’s Day is a perfect time to renew your commitment.

The Apparition of St. Raphael in Córdoba, Spain (16th Century) ✨ A Heavenly Messenger in Troubled Times In the heart of Córdoba, Spain, during the 16th century, a miraculous event took place that reaffirmed the city’s deep Catholic faith. St. Raphael the Archangel, known as the angel of healing and divine guidance, appeared to a humble priest, bringing a message of protection and hope. This apparition left a lasting impact on the city, leading to widespread devotion that continues to this day. 📖 The Apparition to Father Andrés de las Roelas During the late 1500s, Córdoba was suffering from devastating plagues and unrest. In this time of distress, Father Andrés de las Roelas, a devout priest, began receiving supernatural visions of a radiant figure. The heavenly visitor identified himself as St. Raphael, the Archangel. The saint spoke these reassuring words to the priest: 👉 “I swear to you by Jesus Christ crucified that I am Raphael, whom the Lord has placed as guardian of this city.” This divine revelation brought immense consolation to the people of Córdoba. They believed that St. Raphael had been sent by God to protect their city from further calamities. 🏛 The Lasting Impact Following this apparition, the city of Córdoba grew in devotion to St. Raphael. Many miracles were attributed to his intercession, and the people built shrines and statues in his honor. The most famous among them is the Triumph of St. Raphael, a majestic monument that still stands in Córdoba today. To this day, the people of Córdoba continue the tradition of praying to St. Raphael, especially in times of illness and need. The city’s love for their angelic guardian remains unshaken, a testimony to the power of faith and divine protection. 🙏 Prayer to St. Raphael, Guardian of Córdoba “Glorious Archangel St. Raphael, protector of Córdoba, guide and heal us in body and soul. Defend us from harm and lead us to the peace of Christ. Amen.” 🌟 Conclusion The 16th-century apparition of St. Raphael in Córdoba is a powerful reminder that God sends His angels to watch over His people. Just as St. Raphael protected the city then, we too can call upon his intercession for healing, guidance, and protection in our daily lives. St. Raphael, Guardian of Córdoba, pray for us! 🙌
