He befriended his jailer, to perform miracles to teach people the experience and to recognize true love. According to legend, St. Valentine signed a letter “from your Valentine” to his jailer’s daughter, whom he had befriended and healed from blindness. After the physician became a priest, he defied the emperor’s orders and secretly married couples to spare their husbands from war. According to legend, St. Valentine signed a letter “from your Valentine” to his jailer’s daughter, whom he had befriended and healed from blindness.</p><p>The idea of encouraging them to marry within the Christian church was what Valentine was about. And he secretly married them because of the edict.</p><p>Valentine was eventually caught, imprisoned, and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against the command of Emperor Claudius the Second. There are legends surrounding Valentine's actions while in prison. </p><p>One of the men who was to judge him in line with Roman law at the time was a man named Asterius, whose daughter was blind. He befriended his jailer, Asterious, who became so impressed with Valentine’s wisdom that he asked Valentine to help his daughter, Julia, with her lessons. Julia was blind and needed someone to read the material to learn it. Valentine became friends with Julia through his work with her when she came to visit him in jail. He was supposed to have prayed with and healed the young girl with such astonishing effect that Asterius became Christian.</p><p>In the year 269 AD, Valentine was sentenced to execution all because of his stand for Christian marriage. The story goes that his last words were in a note to Asterius' daughter. He inspired today's romantic missives by signing it, "from your Valentine." So he is the Valentine has come to be known as the patron saint of lovers, miracles, beekeepers, plague, epilepsy, traveling, and true love.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Prayer to St Valentine</em></strong></p><p>Oh, St. Valentine, patron saint of lovers,</p><p>Miracle worker and a beacon of hope,</p><p>We gather here today to honor your grace,</p><p>And seek your blessings in our lives.</p><p>You, who have been revered throughout the ages,</p><p>For your unwavering devotion to love,</p><p>We invoke your presence and guidance,</p><p>As we navigate the complexities of our own hearts.</p><p>Blessed St. Valentine, protector of true love,</p><p>We beseech you to intercede on our behalf,</p><p>Grant us the courage to love deeply and fearlessly,</p><p>To cherish and honor the connections we hold dear.</p><p>In your wisdom, you understood the power of love,</p><p>And the miracles it can manifest in our lives,</p><p>We ask for your assistance in finding and nurturing,</p><p>The love that is meant for us, pure and true.</p><p>St. Valentine, guardian of beekeepers and travelers,</p><p>We seek your protection and guidance,</p><p>As we journey through life's challenges and uncertainties,</p><p>May your presence bring us strength and resilience.</p><p>In times of epidemics and illness, you offered solace,</p><p>We humbly ask for your intercession,</p><p>To heal those afflicted and bring comfort to their loved ones,</p><p>May your divine intervention bring an end to suffering.</p><p>Oh, St. Valentine, patron saint of lovers,</p><p>We offer our gratitude for your divine presence,</p><p>May your blessings shower upon us,</p><p>And may we embody the essence of true love.</p><p>In your name, we dedicate ourselves to love,</p><p>To honor the connections we hold dear,</p><p>And to spread love's light in the world,</p><p>For love is the greatest miracle of all.</p><p></p><p><strong><em>Thank you for listening and reading, </em></strong></p><p><strong><em>Much Love, Melissa Shubha Abbott</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>My 7 books:</em></strong></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/Melissa-Shubha-Abbott/e/B0CFPJ4FPH/ref=zg_bsnr_g_4336_d_sccl_2_bl/000-0000000-0000000"><strong>Amazon</strong></a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://melissaabbottdesigns.etsy.com"><strong>Etsy</strong></a></p><p></p><p></p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Collective Awakening at <a href="https://melissashubhaabbott.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4">melissashubhaabbott.substack.com/subscribe</a>
