February 14 is the day when people send the cards with the little hearts on them. Love is so important in human life that society feels a need to set aside a special kind of day to celebrate it. It is a good time to recommit ourselves to those we love, and a good time to remember someone who otherwise might not receive any sign of love at all. People can only celebrate this day according to the way they understand the meaning of love. If love means a committed, unconditional caring that goes beyond feelings, then this day commemorates what is best in human relationships. People who share that kind of love have an incomparable treasure. They reveal to one another an image of the love of God
