OH WHAT A CONSECUTIVE UNIQUE & PERFECT TRIOLOGIAL LOVE MANIFESTATION FEBRUARY 13, 14 & 15 BY IKECHUKWU OGUN FR

February 13 Ash Wednesday, February 14 Valentine’s day & February 15 Via Crucis (Stations  of the Cross). This year 2013 as we bid farewell to the flesh through carnival as a preparation for the Quadragesima – Lenten Period, we enter into love manifestation through the triological dates.

The Ash Wednesday 13^th February, reminds us that our nothingness is been greatly made of something wonderful through Love of Christ, a Perfect Love, a Love concretized as Charity and Almsgiving. Through this means one receives forgiveness from God having done this with sincere Love, so the acceptance of weakness and struggle towards becoming a saint through a change of old life of sin to good spiritual and moral behaviours.

Valentine’s day Thursday 14^th February, calls to mind the practical expression of sincere Love which is not a sin and ought not to be a sin, because the whole action of Christ is valentine orientated. Hence, in Valentine’s day we ought to show and give a sincere sacrifice of the self through kenosis. Valentine day is not a day of promiscuity as very many always think, far be it from it, therefore  from the acceptance of our nothingness we profess and manifest such love on the valentine’s day which is sacrificial too.

Stations of the Cross (Via Crucis) Friday 15^th February, cements the spiritual commemoration of the Sacrifice, Passion and Love with his Life,  which our Saviour and Lord let down to us to recall always. Let us all follow these triological Love manifestation well. Therefore, we wish ourselves a happy beginning of Lent, a happy Valentine’s day and an excellent beginning of the Lenten weekly Stations of the Cross. God loves you, so try your best to go Sacrament of Confession and be very close to the Eucharistic Jesus. Remember Ps. 51.
