If you've been around much, you know we like to make Valentines and give them away randomly after daily Mass. This year you get the DOUBLE BONUS that you should, probably, be at Mass anyway, since it happens to be Ash Wednesday as well!
We are deep into the Valentines process and we're not unveiling until after the event (we will actually be handing out in Albuquerque, NM this year!) but feel free to enjoy the post below from several years ago (the kids were so tiny!). There are also links to many other great ideas to Keep the Love in Lent.

Go to it! Also, don't forget your local 40 Days for Life will begin it's next vigil soon. Find your local vigil and participate!
We are blessed

The Power of Silence
There are many things to say but, for now, I'll choose to be a poor beggar and let you reflect on some of the amazing thoughts of Robert Cardinal Sarah...
The silent man is no longer a sign of contradiction; he is just one man too many. Someone who speaks has importance and value, whereas another who keeps quiet gets little consideration. The silent man is reduced to nothingness. The simple act of speaking imparts value. Do the words make no sense? It makes no difference. Noise has acquired the nobility that silence once possessed.
The man who speaks is celebrated, and the silent man is a poor beggar in whose presence there is no need to even raise one's eyes.
