Pray the sight
back to her eyes and
free the prisoners
by judge baptized and
wed the lovers
against law’s might -
give your life
in the name of it -
call it brave,
call it saintly,
call it love -
trading candies
over martyrdom,
swapping hearts
like he did
in the name of Him.
St. Valentine

The latest from america
A Homily for the Second Sunday of Easter, Sunday of Divine Mercy, by Terrance Klein
On this week’s episode of “Jesuitical,” Ashley and Zac are joined by magazine’s editor in chief, Sam Sawyer, S.J., and America editor at large James Martin, S.J., to discuss “the people’s pope.”
My wife and I lost a friend on earth, Gerard O’Connell writes, but we now have a friend in heaven.
I know adults tell children not to take candy from strangers. But I decided to amend the rule: Never take candy from strangers unless that “stranger” is the pope!
