"The Story of St. Valentine"

St. Valentine was a Christian back when it was against the  Roman law.There was a law that  everyone had to worship the  emperor. Christians worshiped only Jesus.  That seemed strange to the people in  Rome.And any time something went wrong  back then, folks needed someone to blame.

The emperor had  Valentine beaten with  sticks because he would not worship the emperor. Valentine didn't fight  back because that's not  the way of Jesus. So Valentine was thrown  in jail.

Valentine's jailer was  called Asterius. He worshipped the emperor like everyone else.  But Valentine wouldn't  stop talking to him about Jesus. He sang about Jesus; he prayed to Jesus. Asterius started to get interested. Now Asterius had a blind daughter. "If your Jesus can heal my little girl, " said Asterius,"then I'll believe in Him."

Valentine prayed and the child got her sight. And Asterius was so  happy  that he and his whole  family became Christians.

"MY TRUE VALENTINE"

Jesus is my true  Valentine. His heart was  pierced for me. I cannot tell why He loved me so well, But He proved it on Calvary
