Then identify specific character traits for the choice, and support that trait with facts/examples from the text. Hats off to the 6th grade class and Mrs. "O". They also enjoyed their pizza party as the top "Souper Bowl" Class!
Novena to St. Valentine O holy Martyr, St. Valentine, pray for the Faithful, who are so persevering in celebrating thy memory. The day of Judgment will reveal to us all thy glorious merits. Oh! intercede for us, that we may then be made thy companions at the right hand of the Great Judge, and be united with thee eternally in heaven. Antiphon: This Saint fought, even unto death, for the law of his God, and feared not the words of the wicked; for he was set upon a firm rock. Let us pray: Grant, we beseech thee, O Almighty God, that we who solemnize the festival of blessed Valentine, Thy Martyr, may, by his intercession, be delivered from all the evils that threaten us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. (Here mention your petitions) Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, Amen
