My Valentine
So as we celebrate Valentine's Day, we want to recognize married couples who have maintained their relationship with one another, which is a covenant relationship – just like the relationship God has with each of us that is a sign of his great love for us.

When Do We Pray?
His name is Damar Hamlin. He wears # 3 for the Buffalo Bills. He almost died on a cold night in Cincinnati as the Buffalo Bills, and Cincinnati Bengals were playing an important football game near the end of the season.
I was reminded of Psalm 42, in which David prays to God when things are difficult.

I first spotted Mickey Guyton on television at the July 4th National Mall Celebration in Washington DC. I wondered who she was. She wound up as Breakout of the Year for Time Magazine’s New Year Edition. She’s a black woman who sings country music and that’s something we do not see much in our world. One of her latest songs is ‘I still pray. It's a beautiful song. Here is a link to it: https://tinyurl.com/istillpray. And as I listened to the song, I thought about Psalm 42 which says something similar. Cathedral of Saint Andrew Catholic Information Center - Grand Rapids, MI Paulist Fathers

Day after Day may the Lord be blest
He bears our burdens; God is our savior.
On a day as solemn as Memorial Day should be for each of us, it is important to remember the pain of war, and the goodness of God who is ever and always the Father of Orphans and the defender of widows.

Have Mercy on me, O' Lord
Psalm 31 reminds us that our God is a loving God who takes heed of the distress we are in at the time of death of a loved one. And yes, we are in distress; and yes, we need God’s consolation at that time.
Maybe it will come to us from a friend, maybe from a loved one, maybe from a faith that we have grown over the years. But one thing is for sure – God in his Mercy loves us, and we need to keep that thought in mind when someone we love dies.
And so we pray with the Psalmist – Have Mercy on me, O’Lord.
