Powerful Prayer to Saint Valentine
Saint Valentine,
faithful witness of love strengthened by sacrifice,
pray for me as I place my heart before God, just as it is.
You know the longings I carry,
the hopes I barely speak aloud,
and the wounds that remain hidden.
Intercede for me,
that my heart may be healed of fear and resentment
and purified of selfish love.
Teach me to love with patience,
to forgive with humility,
and to remain faithful even when love feels fragile.
If I am waiting, give me trust.
If I am hurting, give me healing.
If I am loving, help me love as Christ loves.
Saint Valentine, pray for me,
that my heart may rest in God’s plan
and grow in charity and peace.
Amen.
