On the sixth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, six geese a-laying. Today we turn our attention to the God who once described himself as a mother hen (Luke 13: 31-35).

Today’s Mass readings remind us of the importance of loving God. How appropriate that they happen to fall on Valentine’s Day, for God’s love, poured out in the blood and water flowing from the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is the greatest experience of love we can ever hope to know.
