The growing lack of strong males in the West has created unhappy women, who then make everyone else around them unhappy. What the enemy calls “toxic masculinity” is the pillar that keeps a civilization peaceful and happy. Happy women raise happy, strong, wholesome children. And it can’t happen without strong males in their lives.

Day 1 Prayer

O glorious advocate and protector, Saint Valentine, look with pity upon our wants, hear our requests, attend to our prayers, relieve by your intercession the miseries under which we labor, and obtain for us the Divine blessing, that we may be found worthy to join thee in praising the Almighty for all eternity; through the merits of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Pray, then, O holy Martyr, for the faithful, who are so persevering in celebrating thy memory. The day of Judgment will reveal to us all thy glorious merits. Oh! intercede for us, that we may then be made thy companions at the right hand of the Great Judge, and be united with thee eternally in heaven.

Let us pray: Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who solemnize the festival of blessed Valentine, Thy Martyr, may, by his intercession, be delivered from all the evils that threaten us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Mention your intentions here)

Saint Valentine, advocate and protector, pray for us.

[The same prayer for every day]

"Think not that God created them and gave them to man only to keep house for him, but to comfort and cheer him. That in her the weary and angry husband may find rest, and the children love, and the family pity, and all generally pleasant hospitality." The perfect married woman - Fray Luis of Leon

Daily reminder that family is everything.

“Why do women want to dress like men when they’re fortunate enough to be women? Why lose femininity, which is one of our greatest charms? We get more accomplished by being charming than we would be flaunting around in pants and smoking. I’m very fond of men. I think they are wonderful creatures. I love them dearly. But I don’t want to look like one. When women gave up their long skirts, they made a grave error.”
