A Simple Fact

Since December 26th stores have been pushing Valentine's Day.  And here it is.  The red hearts, the flowers, candy, and even more expensive gifts--that perfect diamond for example--symbolize love.  One wonders what is understood by that word these days.  Is it the love described by St. Paul in chapter 13 of the first letter to the Corinthians:  love is kind love is patient, not boastful or jealous...etc.  See 1Cor 13: 1-13).   Jesus said it best:  Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. Jn 15:13. New Living Translation (©2007)  This really should be what we are celebrating and living.
