Holy Gospel, prayer of February 14

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Matthew 6,1-6.16-18.
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples:
«Beware of practicing your good works before men to be admired by them, otherwise you will have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.
So when you give alms, do not blow the trumpet in front of you, as hypocrites do in synagogues and on the streets to be praised by men. Truly, I say to you, they have already received their reward.
But when you give alms, don't let your left know what your right does,
for your alms to remain secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites who love to pray by standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the squares, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have already received their reward.
But you, when you pray, enter your room and, closed the door, pray to your Father in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
And when you fast, don't take on a melancholy air like hypocrites, who disfigure their faces to show men fasting. Truly, I say to you, they have already received their reward.
You instead, when you fast, perfume your head and wash your face,
because people do not see that you fast, but only your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you ».

Saint of today - VALENTINE'S DAY
O glorious martyr Valentine,

that through your intercession you released

your devotees from the plague and other terrible diseases,

free us, we beg you, from the plague

terrible of the soul, which is mortal sin.

So be it.

Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, increase faith, hope and charity in us.
