Prayers to Saint Valentine of Rome

O Saint Valentine, priest
and martyr of the early Church,
who bore witness to the love
of Christ crucified, pray for us.
Pray for us, that we may face
suffering without fear,
choose faithfulness over comfort,
and love as Christ loved,
laying down our lives in service to Him.
Amen.
Saint Valentine of Rome, priest and martyr
Prayer to Saint Valentine
for Those Afflicted by Epilepsy
Prayer to Saint Valentine
for Healing
Prayer to Saint Valentine
in Times of Plague and
Widespread Infectious Disease
O Saint Valentine,
priest and martyr of the early Church,
who suffered death
in confession of Christ, pray for us.
Intercede for those of us
who endure the burden of epilepsy,
those whose bodies fail
without warning,
whose strength gives way in a moment,
and who live with uncertainty
about the next hour.
Pray for patience in affliction,
for protection in times of weakness,
for wise and compassionate care,
and for endurance in trials
that return again and again.
You who did not deny the Lord
when tested,
pray that those who suffer
may not lose heart,
but remain steadfast in faith
amid what they cannot control.
Saint Valentine, martyr of Christ,
pray for us.
Amen.
O Saint Valentine,
priest and martyr of the early Church,
who suffered death
in confession of Christ, pray for us.
Intercede for those
who seek healing in body or in mind,
those weighed down by illness,
weakened by pain,
or worn by long affliction.
Pray that they may receive
strength in weakness,
comfort in suffering,
skilful care from those who treat them,
and, if it be God’s will,
restoration to health.
You who did not deny the Lord
when tested,
pray that those who endure sickness
may not lose heart,
but hold fast to faith
in days of uncertainty.
Saint Valentine, martyr of Christ,
pray for us.
Amen.
O Saint Valentine,
priest and martyr of the early Church,
who suffered death
in confession of Christ, pray for us.
Intercede for those
who suffer in times of
plague and diseases,
for the sick and the vulnerable,
for families who live under
the shadow of contagion,
and for communities unsettled
by fear and uncertainty.
Pray for protection for those at risk,
for strength for those who fall ill,
for wisdom
for physicians and caregivers,
and for perseverance
for those who labour
when disease spreads among many.
You who did not deny the Lord
when tested,
pray that we may not lose heart
when illness touches
our homes and cities,
but remain steadfast
in faith and charity.
Saint Valentine, martyr of Christ,
pray for us.
Amen.

Prayer to Saint Valentine for Love That Endures
O Saint Valentine,
priest and martyr of the early Church,
who suffered death in confession of Christ,
pray for us.
Intercede for us,
who are called to love
yet so often love poorly.
We grow weary in patience,
we protect ourselves when we should give,
we seek comfort when love asks for sacrifice.
Pray that our love may be purified,
that it may not rest in sentiment,
nor fade when tested,
but become faithful in small duties
and steadfast in greater trials.
And pray for us,
that in our homes and friendships,
in promises kept and burdens shared,
in hidden acts of service and costly forgiveness,
we may learn the love
that does not count the cost
when another’s good is at stake.
You who bore witness to the Lord
in the hour appointed to you,
and did not turn aside from Him,
pray that we may remain faithful
when love demands perseverance,
and courageous
when it asks us to lay down ourselves for others.
May the love of Christ,
which overcomes fear and endures unto death,
take root in us
and order all our affections toward God.
Amen.
