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.
Almighty Father, grant me to greet the coming day in peace, help me in all things to rely upon your holy will.
Guide me with your wisdom, in every hour of the day reveal your spirit to me.
Bless my dealings with all who encircle me.
Teach me to treat all that comes to throughout the day with peace of soul and with firm assurance that your will governs all.
In all my deeds and words, guide my thoughts and feelings.
In unpredictably events, let me not forget that all are sent by you.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely, without embittering and embarrassing others.
Give me strength to bear the exhaustion of the coming day with all that it shall bring.
Direct my will, teach me to pray, and be humble to others and you.
Amen.

Lord Jesus, I give You my hands to do Your work.
I give You my feet to go Your way.
I give You my eyes to see as You do.
I give You my tongue to speak Your words.
I give You my mind that You may think in me.
I give You my spirit that You may pray in me.
Above all, I give You my heart that You may love in me,
Your Father, and all mankind.
I give You my whole self that You may grow in me,
so that it is You, Lord Jesus, who live and work and pray in me.
Amen.

I humble myself before your Presence,
I ask you to forgive me my sins and the sins of brothers and sisters.
Almighty Father, we have offended you, our ancestors have offended you and we all continue to offend you daily.
Lord, have Mercy on us.
Almighty God, I ask forgiveness for my sins and the sins of my brothers and sisters.
Forgive us Lord for breaking your commandments; forgive us Lord for not listening to your Word.
Lord my God, with shame I present to you the state of this poor humanity as I implore your Mercy and compassion.
Lord I am so sorry to confess my sins and of my brothers and sisters, we are guilty Lord, we have insulted you with our pride, and we have defied you with our sins.
Lord I disapprove of to see how my own brothers and sisters are immersed in atheism, but have so many false gods.
Lord I see how children have turned against parents because they try to teach them what is right, I see rebellion in children, young people and grown ups.
Crime is on the increase in every city throughout the world, all laws are
despised and your laws are totally ignored.
There is corruption even inside governments and most people will do evil at the cost of others.
Please Lord open up our ears to hear your voice, open our eyes to see the truth and our hearts to love one another.
Amen
