About this listen
Fr. Edward Looney welcomes author Anthony DeStefano back to the podcast to discuss his new children’s book, Your Valentine, which reclaims the true Christian meaning of Valentine’s Day.
Anthony shares the real story of St. Valentine—a 3rd-century priest and martyr whose witness to Christian marriage and sacrificial love reminds us that love is stronger than death. They explore how Valentine’s Day became commercialized, why it’s important to teach children the Catholic roots of the holiday, and how themes of empathy, friendship, and self-giving love are woven into the story.
This episode is a timely conversation for parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to rediscover the faith-filled origins of Valentine’s Day.
