His love is the love of God in Christ, not mere affection, but a willingness to given one\u2019s whole life as a sacrifice for one\u2019s beloved. Christ\u2019s love is precisely this kind of love. Saint Valentine accepted this love, and in his willingness to die rather than deny Christ, he demonstrated such love himself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>6. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Brand-new cardinals at the Vatican speak about unity, diversity, tradition, change <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/NtjUv9wGCL\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/t.co\/NtjUv9wGCL<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Francis X.
