Valentine’s Day has always been the day that celebrates love, ever since Saint Valentine manifested the need to love and laid his life for it. And now, when the world’s falling apart, we need the magic of love to heal everything around, from broken hearts to scarred relationships, to impaired humanity, and a distressed planet. We need love more than ever.

If Valentine's Day means more than just romance to you, here are small gestures of love and kindness that will make a big difference to the lives they touch.

Go on little cupid, spread the love!
