The Surrender Novena (Day 2)
The Surrender Novena (Day 2)
Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything.
It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way.
Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act, saying, “You take care of it.”
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (Say this 10 times)

The Surrender Novena is a prayer that encourages trust and faith in God, especially during times of difficulty or uncertainty.
It was given by Jesus to Father Dolindo Ruotolo, a contemporary and friend of Padre Pio. Don Dolindo was known for his deep spirituality and the many sufferings he endured with joy for the love of God.
