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

By Faith

I gaze up to the heavens and know
within its vastness
that this is your creation planned and effected within eternity
By faith
I pluck an ear of corn and know
within its symmetry lies the chemistry of life
the potential of creation within my hand
By faith
I listen for your voice and know the whisper that I hear
breathed a world into existence
yet listens to the prayer within my soul
By faith
I strive to do your will and know
the door that I approach may lead me to shadows
where my roll is to become your light
By faith
I cling to your word and know
the strength that I receive has it’s source within the love
that is at the centre of all things!

BLESSED MORNING"

This morning when I woke up And saw the sun above,
I softly said, "Good morning, Lord, Bless everyone I love."
Right away I thought of you 
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially, 
And keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness
The day could hold in store,
I wished it all for you because
No one deserves it more.
I felt so warm and good inside,
My heart was all aglow,
 I know God heard my prayers for you,
He hears them all, you know! -

The Will of God

"To get something you never had, you have to do 
something you never
did".

When God takes something from your grasp, 
He's not punishing you,
but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
Concentrate on this sentence.....
"The will of God will never take you where the
Grace of God will not protect you".
Something good will happen to you
today.

HOW DO YOU DO LORD!!

Look God: 
I have never spoken to You.
But now I want to say, "How do You do."
You see God, they told me You did not exist;
And, like a fool, I believed all of this.
Last night from a shell hole I saw Your sky;
I figured right then they had told me a lie.
Had I taken the time to see the things You made,
I would know they weren't calling a spade a spade.
I wonder, God, if You would shake my hand;
Somehow, I feel that You will understand.
Strange, I had to come to this hellish place,
before I had time to see Your face.
Well, I guess there isn't much more to say,
But I am sure glad, God, I met You today.
I guess the zero hour will soon be here,
But I am not afraid since I know You are near.
The signal- well, God I will have to go; I
love you lots, this I want you to know.
Looks like this will be a horrible fight; Who knows,
I may come to your house tonight.
Though I wasn't friendly with you before,
I wonder, God, if you would wait at the door.
Look, I am crying, me shedding tears!
I wish I had known you these many years.
Well, I will have to go now, God.
Goodbye - Strange, since I met you,
I am not afraid to die.

Only You, Lord

In our walk to the cross
and beyond who will roll the stone away
show us the empty tomb our risen Savior
Messiah Only you, Lord
as you revealed yourself to three
women early on that Resurrection morning
Only you, Lord as you revealed yourself
to hesitant and frightened disciples in the
upper room and showed your wounded side
Only you, Lord as you revealed yourself
through the power of your Holy Spirit on
that Pentecost morning
and reveal your self today through tongues of fire
and through the gentlest of breeze through revelation
and revolution in hearts and souls In our walk
to the cross and beyond who will roll the stone
away show us the empty tomb
our risen Savior Messiah
Only you, Lord Only you!

Life is short!

First, I 


was dying to finish my high school 
and start college, 
and then I was dying to finish college and start working,
then I was dying to marry and have children 
and then I was dying for my children to grow old 
enough so I could go back to work, but then 
I was dying to retire and now I dying…and suddenly 
I realized I forgot to live….
Please don’t let this happen to you, appreciate 
your current situation and enjoy each day….
Old friend…
To make money, we lose our health, and then to restore our health, 
we lose our money….
We live a if we are never going to die, and we die as if we never lived…


Life is very short, so break your silly ego, forgive 
quickly, believe slowly,


love truly, laugh loudly and never avoid anything 
that makes you smile.


When I woke up this morning lying in bed, 
I was asking myself;


What are some of the secrets of success in life?
I found the answer right there, in my very room.
The Fan said…………..Be cool
The Roof said……………Aim high
The Window said……...See the world
The Clock said……….. Every minute is precious
The calendar said……….Be up-to-date
The Mirror said…………..Reflect before you act
The Door said ………Push hard for your goals
Carry a Heart that Never Hates.


Carry a Smile that Never Fades.
Carry a Touch that Never Hurts...
HAVE A BLESSED AND  HAPPY WEEK!
