Love day and what is love by the way?

Many are excited today! You know why I think. Today is Valentine's day. And to many particularly the young ones, it has its own meaning. It is a day for dating with a special someone, a boyfriend, a girlfriend or whoever.
To romantic Filipinos, this day is extra-ordinary. They can spend a lot to move deeper from friendship, affection, romance, to sex. Good for married couples. No problem. But for students and singles, it resorts to pre-marital sex.

"Valentine’s Day has become worldly. It is not wrong to celebrate love, but the celebration itself has become very mundane," Cardinal Rosales, the Archbishop of Manila said.
Commercialism has pervaded Valentine’s Day with people making sure to buy material gifts for their loved ones whenever they go to malls, he lamented.
"People now think of love as only the love between couples, which should not be," he said.
He said the Church warns everyone, especially the youth, to guard against danger and sin deceitfully wrapped in material things."Love cannot be bought; love cannot be replaced with momentary happiness. True love comes from the heart and recognizes the need to respect one's beloved," Cardinal Rosales said.
"I hope that people incorporate spirituality in their lives, focusing on their love for the Lord and following the steps of the blessed," the alarmed Cardinal Rosales said.

To me to engage to a saintly love need no sex. there is love in charity if you have a little if not much to give. There is love when to smile to an enemy. There is love when you come closer to shake hand with your oppositionist or competitor. There is love when you send your thoughtfullness to a person if not friend.

To a spouse, love can be beyond sex. The twilight couples or senior citizens have graduated on that but are still rich with their Valentine's affair in many different ways.



To all of you, may this day be a day to discover more the magic of love! Where is love in sacrifices aside from be nailed on the cross? Engr. Lozada has discovered that last Friday. Where is love among OFW's who are far from their families? Where is love in Abalos case? Where is love among the celebate priests and nuns? Where is love among the cute little boys and girls in the schools? Where is love in the operating room if not in the ICU?

I love you all!!! Happy Valentine's Day to one and all!
