Well, thank you for joining us, everybody.

I'm Father Chris.

It's great to be back here in the United States, live from the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy.

Even though it's cold out, we have a good group of people here for a lot from out of states.

So welcome, and thank you for joining us.

As we begin, I want to start before we begin the prayer.

I just know that the brothers had informed

you of our beloved cameraman Giuseppe. Brother Giuseppe has suffered not just a stroke, but a catastrophic

stroke.

He's in the hospital.

He will be for a while.

He's going to be entering rehab.

And I just want to say thank you to everybody.

And he does too.

He passed on to me that thank you for the prayers.

He is asking for prayers.

And you know, our Marion helpers, you guys have come through tremendously so much in the past. I can't thank you enough. And I pray for all of you each and every day, for masses, and what you did for my mom. And she made a miraculous recovery to then forgive her mother. then she passed away and now to be able to ask you again for prayers for cameraman Giuseppe. We love him. He is,

to me, just my best friend in many ways as a brother and I can't tell you how much we are in need of prayers for him.

And thank you.

So we want to begin today's talk.

It's St. Valentine's Day,

and they always say that St. Valentine's Day should mean nothing to a seminarian, right?
