Daily Reflection with Fr. Tomas Del Valle-Reyes



Dear Friends: Praying is not easy. Our daily routine calls for our full attention. And the world around us puts little value on prayer; our lives are full of material things but at the same time are getting emptier in God’s value.

For this reason, I will post a daily reflection and as you visit this site may the Holy Spirit within you come to your aid and guide you gently to the God who loves you

The Blessed Trinity...

Invocation of the HOLY TRINITY:
In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON, and of the HOLY SPIRIT.
May the grace of our LORD JESUS CHRIST,
the LOVE of GOD our FATHER, and fellowship of the HOLY SPIRIT
be with you.
--Liturgy Introductory Rites: Greeting
Invocation of the Blessed Trinity
By St. Patrick
I bind unto myself this day
the strong name of the Trinity;
by invocation of the same,
the Three in One and One in Three.
Of whom all nature hath creation
Eternal Father, Spirit, Word,
Praise to the God of our salvation,
Salvation is of Christ the Lord.
Christ be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,Christ to comfort and restore me.
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ on tongue of friend and stranger.
--Circe: 800 A.D.

Psalms 118:8
"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."
I said a prayer for you:"Father God, bless my friend in whatever it is that you know he/she may be needing this day! And may his/her life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You.
Amen"

When things get tough, always remember...

The Serenity Prayer

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish
the one from the other.
Living one day at a time,
Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right,
If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
Rev. Father  Tomas del Valle-Reyes
