Novena
of Abandonment to God
Day One
Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to Me, and
everything will be peaceful. I say to
you in truth that every act of true, blind, and complete surrender to Me
produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything!”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
To 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 to get in their mother’s way.
To surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul,
to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and 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.!”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
Day Three
How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and
material need, turns to Me and says to Me; “You take care of it,” then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for Me to act, but that I
act in the way you want. You do not turn
to Me; instead, you want Me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who tell the doctor
how to. So do not act this way, but pray
as I taught you in the “Our Father”: “Hallowed by thy Name”; that is, be
glorified in my need. “Thy kingdom
come”; that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with Your
kingdom. “Thy will be done on earth as
it is in Heaven”; that is, in our need, decide as You see fit for our temporal
and eternal life.
If you say to me truly: “Thy will be done,” which is the
same as saying: “You take care of it”, I will intervene with all my
omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry.
Close your eyes and say to me with faith: “Thy will be done; You take
care of it.” I say to you that I will
take care of it and that I will intervene as a doctor and I will accomplish
miracles when they are needed. Do you
see the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and
say, “You take care of it.” I say to you
that no medicine more powerful that My loving intervention. By My love, I promise this to you.
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 - 10 times)
Day Five
And when I must lead you on a path different from the one
you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in My arms; I will let you find
yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the
other bank of the river. What troubles
you and hurts you immensely is your reason, your thoughts and worry, and your
desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
“O Jesus I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
You are sleepless; you want to judge everything and see to
everything and you surrender to human strength-or worse, to men themselves,
trusting in their intervention. This is
what hinders My words and My views. Oh how much I wish from you this surrender,
to help you, and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate
you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of
human intiative. So, trust only in Me,
rest in Me, surrender to Me in everything.
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
Day Seven
I perform miracles to
proportion to your full surrender to Me and to you not thinking of
yourselves. I sow treasure troves of
graces when you are in the deepest poverty.
No person of reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles, not even
among the saints. He does divine works
whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t
think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and it is very hard to see
evil and to trust in Me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs; do this, all of
you, and you will see great, continual, silent miracles. I will take care of things; I promise this to
you.
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the
flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present,
turning your thoughts away for the future just as you would temptation. Repose in Me believing in My goodness, and I
promise you by My love that if you say “You take care of it,” I will take care
of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
Day Nine
Pray always, in readiness to surrender, and you will receive
from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of
immolation, of repentance and of love.
They what does surrfering matter?
It seems impossible to you? Close
your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it.” Do not be afraid; I will tatke care of things
and you will bless My Name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single
act of surrender; remember this well.
There is no novena more effective than this:
“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of
everything.”
(Repeat 3 – 10 times)
O Blessed Virgin Mary, my Mother I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you I always want
to
belong completely to Jesus.
