Dear St. Valentine Berio, Please pray for me.
St. Valentine Berrio-Ocho, you are celebrated on All Saints Day. Pray for us together with all Saints who have lived lives of heroic virtue in witnessing Christ Jesus. All Saints in Heaven pray for the sick and suffering. Grant us the blessing of living worthy lives. I've been told that all Catholics are called to sainthood. Make it possible for us through your loving and constant intercession. Amen.
My Grandmother is Ruby Berrio-Ochoa I can remember her going to Spain in 1988 to watch Saint Valentine be canonized. I am now very much involved in my church and would like to gather as much information as I can about him.I am told my family is related him and would like some day to go and give speeches about his journeys in life.
