-====Opening Reflection====
-Valentine of Rome (d.269) -- A Christian priest in Rome, Valentine was known for assisting Christians persecuted under Claudius II.  After being caught marrying Christian couples and helping Christians escape the persecution, Valentine was arrested and imprisoned.  Although Emperor Claudius originally liked Valentine, he was condemned to death when he tried to convert the emperor.  Valentine was beaten with stones, clubbed, and finally beheaded on February 14, 269.  In the year 496, February 14 was named as a day of celebration in Valentine's honor.  He has since become the patron saint of engaged couples, beekeepers, happy marriages, lovers, travelers, young people, and greetings.

-"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

-"Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, and to see my glory, the glory you have given me because you loved me before the creation of the world.  Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them."
