Valentine s Day Catholic Mom Suggestions In addition to pink candies and heart shaped cookies, and of course valentines, We talk about the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus and pray special devotions to them on this day. This helps when we say things like I give you my heart, to really start to understand what our hearts are to God. We also sing a song called "Create in me a Clean Heart" so that we can talk about how in giving one another our hearts in earthly love, we need to be as pure as possible and only Christ's heart can help purify ours. Just a few thoughts for tying in the depth of catholic 'stuff' about hearts since this is the secular feast of the HEART!!! Remember your parish priests and religious sisters on Valentine's Day! ~catholic mom.com
