The Surrender Novena Prayer: O Jesus, I Surrender Myself to You
In the timeless tradition of Holy Mother Church, the surrender novena prayer stands as a heavenly gift of perfect trust and filial abandonment to Our Lord Jesus Christ. Revealed directly by Jesus to the Servant of God Father Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970), this nine-day surrender novena invites the faithful to repeat with childlike confidence: “O Jesus, I surrender myself to You; take care of everything!” Each day unfolds Jesus’ own consoling words, calling us to cease all anxious striving and repose entirely in His merciful Providence. Rooted in Sacred Scripture (Mt 6:25-34) and the teachings of the Church Fathers on holy abandonment, the Catholic surrender novena — also known as the novena of surrender or Dolindo Ruotolo novena prayer — has consoled countless souls amid trials, illness, and spiritual dryness. Learn how to pray the surrender novena prayer step by step, discover its origin through this holy priest and friend of Padre Pio, and experience the profound peace that flows when we truly let Jesus “take care of everything.” A beacon for traditional Catholics yearning for deeper union with Christ and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
