paradise lost !!

In John Milton's paradise lost, a key figure was Archangel or St. Raphael, who is also known as healing and matchmaking patron saint, for his help to tobius and sarah. Another patron saint for love and marriage is St. Valentine ( Sorry boss, you never got anything from your martyrdom, however you are one of the most commercialized name, and key addition to balance sheet of all cards, gifts , chocolate manufacturing companies)

You helped people to get a life mate, you staked your life to unite the lovers, you also felt the emotions when you were jailed and a blind daughter of that jailer found comfort in you. Just before you were beheaded you performed the miracle and restored her eyesight even writing her a letter signing as " Your Valentine", the first valentine's day card.

i just pray to you my Lord, my Father in heaven, all those taking refuge of this pious name, the name that was blessed by you, the miracle that was performed because you gave him the ability, that may this name regains its purity, may this name brings the warmth. love and affection into the lives of his believeres, may his spilled blood bring honor and faith into the life. May this feasting day bring the miracles in the form of true love, not some fancy gifts, and certainly not some faked 'valentine' who might not even survive the relation beyond a month.

AMEN
