We changed from Thursday to Friday because it is Valentine’s Day tomorrow, Saturday.

 

There is a lot to think about on Valentine’s Day. It’s about love.

 

What kind of love? Really, love of God, of Jesus, of Our Lady, the Holy Spirit.

 

Music is important on this Holy day and not everybody knows the story completely about St. Valentine.

 

It’s a beautiful story. The script here, telling that story and having it to be read for you.

 

[NARRATOR]

 

St. Valentine—Patron Saint of Love

 

Valentine was an Italian doctor who later became a priest. He was sent to jail for performing weddings for couples during a time when new marriages were outlawed in Rome during the reign of Claudius II. Claudius wanted to build a large army and thought that marriage would be an obstacle to recruiting new soldiers.

 

When Emperor Claudius discovered that Valentine was performing weddings, he sent Valentine to jail. Valentine used his time in jail to continue to reach out to people with the love that he said Jesus Christ gave him for others. While in prison, Valentine befriended his jailer, 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 material for her to learn it. Valentine became friends with Julia through his work with her when she came to visit him in jail.

 

Emperor Claudius also came to like Valentine. He offered to pardon Valentine and set him free if Valentine would renounce his Christian faith and agree to worship the Roman gods. Not only did Valentine refuse to leave his faith, he also encouraged Emperor Claudius to place his trust in Christ. Valentine’s faithful choices cost him his life. Emperor Claudius was so enraged at Valentine’s response that he sentenced Valentine to die.

 

Before he was killed, Valentine wrote a last note to encourage Julia to stay close to Jesus and to thank her for being his friend. He signed the note: “From your Valentine.” That note inspired people to begin writing their own loving messages to people on Valentine’s Feast Day, February 14th, which is celebrated on the same day on which Valentine was martyred.

 

Valentine was beaten, stoned, and beheaded on February 14, 270 AD. People who remembered his loving service to many young couples began celebrating his life, and he came to be regarded as a saint through whom God had worked to help people in miraculous ways. By 496, Pope Gelasius designated February 14th as Valentine’s official feast day.

 

The most famous miracle attributed to Saint Valentine involved the farewell note that he sent to Julia. Believers say that God miraculously cured Julia of her blindness so that she could personally read Valentine’s note, rather than just have someone else read it to her.

 

Throughout the years since Valentine died, people have prayed for him to intercede for them before God about their romantic lives. Numerous couples have reported experiencing miraculous improvements in their relationships with boyfriends, girlfriends, and spouses after praying for help from Saint Valentine.

It may be sounding that this saint is a saint of love. And yet, it was gruesome what happened to him, cut his head off.

 

Our Lady said April 12, 1987, this message is very, very important for Valentine’s Day. She said:

 

“If you love from the bottom of your heart, you receive a lot. If you hate, you lose a lot. Love makes great things.”

 

Amazing. Write that down. Put it in your heart. Think about that.

 

Everywhere we look is hate. Everywhere, as we have never seen since the beginning of the Garden of Eden.

 

You say, that’s not true. It is true. How do I know?  Because it came down from Heaven,

 

“If you love from the bottom of your heart you receive a lot. If you hate, you lose a lot. Love makes great things.”

 

And Valentine songs are nice to have on Saint Valentine’s Day. Music is strong. It means something. Love, giving your life, like Saint Valentine did.

 

We are playing songs tonight and Saturday. Almost a hundred songs and its beautiful. And we are playing them at Villaggio Colafrancesco and people are coming there and they feel love.

 

I just came from there. I had said people come to me, “This place is love. We come here all the time. We feel something. We live with grace.”

 

I guy came up to me today, a big guy, with his wife, three kids, the songs were playing outside the coffee shop, the gelato shop, he said, “I’ve been here six times. This place has something in the air.”

 

I said, “What do you do?” This is a big guy. He said, “In Birmingham, I have a bar.”

 

I said, “A bar?”  He said, “Yeah, in the city.” He said, “For God.”

 

And the people, they come there to drink only two drinks of alcohol, and he talks to them about God. Where do they do that? He says he’s got clients that go there, going to church now.

 

I said, “Yeah, I guess it’s kind of strange, but still…,” but then I said, well, what did the Virgin Mary say at the wedding?  Son, we need wine.”

 

We both chuckled about that. He was so blessed coming here that it inspired him to do the same out of his bar.

 

Those songs are powerful. It goes into the heart.

 

Why am I going into this? Because one message,

 

“If you love from the bottom of your heart, you receive a lot. If you hate, you lose a lot. Love makes great things.” April 12, 1987.

 

And now we are in 2026. Listen to the news, what is happening, this person got shot, they got killed, they’re doing this. It’s very close to the “first secret.”

 

We are getting prepared for that. There are a lot of things I am doing behind the scenes right now.

 

I’m going to release it, maybe in the next few weeks. Maybe in a month.

 

But, its time.

 

Music and songs talk to you. While the song is talking to you.

I want to play this song for it to talk to you, to your heart, to fill up your heart because we need God. We need Jesus. We need Our Lady.

 

Open your heart. Listen to every word because the world needs God. We need, in a special way, by each one of us to say, I need you now, Our Lady, for good.

 

You do it, She’s here. So open your heart. Listen to every word. I need you now.

 

[SONG]

 

Well, everybody’s got a story to tell
And everybody’s got a wound to be healed
I want to believe there’s beauty here
‘Cause oh, I get so tired of holding on
I can’t let go, I can’t move on
I want to believe there’s meaning here

How many times have you heard me cry out
“God please take this”?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.

Standing on a road I didn’t plan
Wondering how I got to where I am
I’m trying to hear that still small voice
I’m trying to hear above the noise

How many times have you heard me cry out
“God please take this”?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.

Though I walk,
Though I walk through the shadows
And I, I am so afraid
Please stay, please stay right beside me
With every single step I take

How many times have you heard me cry out?
And how many times have you given me strength?

How many times have you heard me cry out
“God please take this”?
How many times have you given me strength to
Just keep breathing?
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.

I need you now
Oh I need you
God, I need you now.
I need you now
I need you now

Our Lady said, October 24, 1984,

 

“Prayer can teach you how to cry.”

 

If that song does not move your heart, you’re missing something.

 

We need God and if we are not praying, we don’t have God.

Because you, I, the world needs Him now. That is why She is here.

 

I want to give you another song to move your heart. The music, the songs we have today is trash, garbage. Rap music is not music. It’s trash. It’s from hell. So many country singers have gone down to the mud.

 

We don’t have beautiful things anymore. Beauty comes from the heart. It comes from the soul.

 

If you are reading Our Lady’s messages, you can do and talk about what is happening.

 

So, the song you are going to hear now, it should move you to your heart, even cry.

 

Every song needs to have a story that can move your heart.

 

[SONG]

 

I’m down on my knees again tonight,
I’m hoping this prayer will turn out right.
See, there is a boy that needs Your help.
I’ve done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired,
I’m sure You can understand.
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand,
And she tries
Not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he’s not just anyone, he’s my son.

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,
I dream of the boy he’d like to be.
I try to be strong and see him through,
But God, who he needs right now is You.
Let him grow old,
Live life without this fear.
What would I be
Living without him here?
He’s so tired,
And he’s scared
Let him know that You’re there.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he’s not just anyone, he’s my son.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he’s not just anyone.

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don’t leave him,
He’s my son.

I have been threatened, multiple times, death threats, even. I’ve played them down

 

The FBI, the sheriffs have stopped it. I’ve been slandered for years, attacked in many, many ways. And I could go on, a long, long, long list. I have never had [hate] in my heart for these things happening.

“If you love from the bottom of your heart, you receive a lot. If you hate, you lose a lot. Love makes great things.”

 

I wish you Our Lady. I love you. Goodnight.
