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

A Prayer for my Parents

Almighty and most merciful God, who in Thy infinite goodness hast committed us unto the charge of loving parents, who are to watch over us and provide for all our wants of body and soul, we pray Thee, protect and prolong their life, that we may continue to enjoy their loving care, and strengthen us that as obedient children we may be subject to their will and hold them in love and esteem; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Nice prayer to remind us to pray for our parents, living and dead, especially as we approach the Feast Day of Sts. Joachim and Anne, Our Blessed Lady's Parents! This year it falls on a Sunday, so it will not be remembered by many, except in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, where it is a Commemoration! My daughter Elizabeth was also born on July 26th; no wonder I remember! :-)
