Hola Daniel Alfonso (D.A.), Realmente en el momento que has escrito esta entrada en tu blog, tu corazón está triste. Hablaste con la que un día pensaste que sería la madre de tus hijos sólo para salir despedido de manos vacías. Ella está feliz. Está esperando su primer hijo. Y tú, tu tuviste la gracia de pedirle perdón, decirle que siempre la vas a amar, y que siempre la tendrás en tus oraciones. You know, you were blessed. The Lord, in his infinite Mercy, allowed you to talk to your kindred soul one last time before to write your wrongs. Not many people have that grace. Think about it: If he allowed you to have this experience, then you are one of his most beloved sons. Cuando todo se desmorona en nuestros proyectos humanos... Cuando la sinceridad y el ardor del amor nada consiguen, y el fracaso está ahí, desolador y cruel, frustrando nuestras más bellas esperanzas... Tus designios permanecen intactos... Tus sueños son más bellos que los nuestros, y Tú los realizas... Conviert...

Γεια σου, Δ.Α.! This will probably be the last post I will make to you. I know you are happy and I can only Bless the Lord for allowing me to see the gift your happiness. I will also do my best to be happy. I know these are just words. You told me "Your words 'sound' sincere. But you were always good with words." I know I may not have been able to keep all my promises, however, these words come from a contrite and humbled heart which is far more than I can explain or express. The purpose of this is to have a very gentle sharing. You take from what I share what is right for you, and what isn't, you let go. Whatever history we had is gone, but I choose to embrace it, cherish it, and love it. It will always live on in the one place it can safely always do so: My memory. You will always be alive there because you starred a genuine important episode of my life which triggered a Paradigm shift in my life for my thoughts, feelings, and actions. So, As I...

Χρόνια πολλά, Δ.Α.! You know, this is a song I wished I would have had the initiative to learn 2 years ago when I first heard it. While one learns from his mistakes, it is a it sad to think that I am never going to sing this for you. I think it would have been an awesome birthday gift and that you would have loved it. In any case, I think it is never to late to show the world something to laugh at by showing my first attempt to trying to give a serenade to a camera! I thought it was so funny how I butcher John Legend’s song that I had to put it in the blog. Episode 5 - All of me loves all of you I hope had a great day with the one you love. P.S. the painting behind me... can you guess who it is? If you do, then you also know who the owner of that painting is.

Σήμερα είναι η μέρα των φώτων: Χρόνια πολλά, Δ.Α., να τα εκατοστήσεις! Χρόνια πολλά! Last year I told you that I wanted to dedicate it to love. While for the most part I made the best I could in accordance to the maximum of my capacities and possibilities, I did fail in crucial points, letting down and hurting people that I love. I have learned from those mistakes and while this year I still have that same (renewed) 2017 resolution, this time I want to add a component of child-like trust (in God). I will dedicate it to love as I am loved... But trusting that whatever may come, God will use the canvas that I am to create a wonderful picture. Today marks a new beginning! The me from 5 years ago told me this: "God has a plan, and that plan's always in motion; making sure that you end up exactly where you're supposed to be, exactly when you're supposed to be. The right place, at the right time."  So, like the Magi, I want to be led by faith to seek God in the m...

Χαιρε, Δ.Α.! Today I got from google photos a set of pics from a couple of years ago. They were very nostalgic and they made me think about the Immense Grace I had to be able to live those moments. And that took me, for some reason, to check my previous posts... And I found this one which I never really posted... And which talked about Grace.  So, I decided to make it public. Let’s start with this Bible passage: And coming to her, He said, "Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you." (Lk 1, 28) “Full of grace” (κεχαριτωμένη is the Greek translation) Please take note of this: “FULL OF GRACE” But before I go and talk about the title that God Himself give the mother of our Lord (κεχαριτωμένη), let’s define grace. What’s is grace? Grace is favor, the free and undeserved help that God gives us to respond to his call to become children of God, adoptive sons, partakers of the divine nature and of eternal life.[1] (Cf. Jn 1:12-18; 17:3; Rom 8:14-17; 2 Pet 1:3-4.) Grace i...

Καλή Χρονιά, Δ.Α.! Wishing you a happy and healthy new year. How do you usually start your day? What is the first thing you do in the morning? Those were the first few questions that Mgr. Christian Lépine, archbishop of Montreal, started with during his homily today. I thought it was a very interesting homily (like most of Mgr. Lépine talks) that I wanted to put whatever (I remembered) into text to remember it in the future. Today that we are starting a new year, I was expecting a different kind of intro for the homily. I thought: 'Maybe we could be talking about something a bit more important?' But then again, thinking about the first thing we do when we wake up is an important question. And that's where Mgr. Lépine's focus was: The importance of what that first thing we do when we wake up must be... To pray. The first thing. For those of you that might be reading these lines and who already do it: Continue to do it. For those of us that still don't do it...
