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

I believe in YOU

"Dear Jesus, I believe in YOU.
I believe You are the Son of God, that You died for our sins, and that you were buried and rose again as it is written in the Bible.
I'm sorry for the things I've done that hurt You.
Forgive me for all my sins. Come into my heart, take charge of my life and make me the way You want me to be.
With Your ever present help, I renounce all my sinful practices of the past. Cleanse my heart with your precious blood.
Write my name in Your Book of Life.
I confess You now as my Lord and Savior.
Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Thank You, Jesus! In Jesus' Name,
Amen."

"Addiction"

When I started using drugs 
It was all just fun and games, 
Hanging out, getting high, 
and Feeling no pain.
Having lots of fun
Running with the crowd
Doing what I wanted  
When I knew it wasn't allowed.
Slowly, day by day, those drugs 
Changed my life
Always getting in trouble Living from night to night.
At some point I became addicted I'm not sure
when or how I started lying, cheating and scheming
 Of those things, I am not proud.
Addiction is cunning
It's a baffling disease 
It makes you very selfish
It creates enemies.
But in the shadow of darkness
There is a ray of hope
You can defeat addiction You can take control.
The journey through recovery
Is a long and treacherous
road But if you have the courage Just reach out and take hold.
Take hold of your dignity Regain your happy life
You are not alone With God by your side
He'll walk you through the shadows Of heartache and pain Give your will to him
You have everything to gain.

Did you know?

Just something to think about.
Did you know the people that are the strongest are usually the most sensitive? 
 Did you know the people who exhibit the most kindness are the first to get mistreated? 
Did you know the ones who take care of others 
all the time are usually the ones who need it the most? 
Did you know the three hardest things to say are I love you, I'm sorry, and help me? 
Sometimes just because a person looks happy, you have to look past their smile to see how much pain they may be in. 
To all my friends who are going through some issues right now--let's start an intentional avalanche. We all need positive intentions right now.
