Underrated parenting advice:

If you don’t give your son an outlet to prove his strength, he’ll turn to violence to validate it.

Give him challenges to overcome to guide it.

Love your children enough to wait until marriage to have them, and stay married to their father until death do you part.

❤️ In a world where love is treated as something banal and frivolous, and the flesh speaks louder than the heart, let us turn to Saint Valentine and ask for his intercession that love as God intended never leaves us, be it the love that ties friends and family, be it the love that ties us to our partners for the rest of our lives.

Saint Valentine, pray for us.

📖 St.Valentine (Valentino) was a Roman priest who performed marriages in spite of Claudius II's law against such (Claudius believed that marriage was distracting to his soldiers, so outlawed it to them for a time). Fr. Valentine was martyred in A.D. 270 on the Flammian way, and at the site of his martyrdom, Julius I built a popular basilica.
