SURRENDER

O Jesus, I Surrender Myself to You
(Total Abandonment to God)
 

Words of Jesus to Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo, a Capuchin Friar who was with (Saint) Padre Pio at Pietrelcina. St. Pio once said of this priest, “The whole of paradise is in your soul.”
 
Day 1 _ 0:00:23 / Day 2 _ 0:01:02 /
Day 3 _ 0:02:13 / Day 4 _ 0:04:02 /
Day 5 _ 0:05:06 / Day 6 _ 0:05:58 /
Day 7 _ 0:07:12 / Day 8 _ 0:08:24 /
Day 9 _ 0:09:15
 
A Powerful Novena:
 
Day 1
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, 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!
(10 times)
 
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!
(10 times)
 
Day 3
How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to Me, looks at 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 ask the doctor to cure you; but rather, 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 be 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!
(10 times)
 
Day 4
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 does a doctor, and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that 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 I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than My loving intervention. By My love, I promise this to you.
 
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You,
take care of everything!
(10 times)
 
Day 5
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 are 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!
(10 times)
 
Day 6
You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct 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 initiative. So, trust only in Me, rest in Me, surrender to Me in everything.
 
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You,
take care of everything!
(10 times)
 
Day 7
I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to Me, and to your 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 any more, because your mind is acute, and for you 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!
(10 times)
 
Day 8
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 from the future, just as you would from 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!
(10 times)
 
Day 9
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. Then what does suffering 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 take 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!”
 
O Jesus, I surrender myself to You,
take care of everything!
(10 times)
 
Mother, I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you I want to always
belong to Jesus.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE FOR FREEDOM FROM CURSES...


 
In the name of Jesus Christ, under the Mantle of Mary, through the intercession of the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, I place myself in the presence of Jesus Christ and submit to His Lordship. I “put on God's Armor so as to be able to resist the Devil's tactics.” (Ephesians 6:10-11)

I stand my ground “with Truth buckled around my waist and integrity for a breastplate.” (Ephesians 6:14)

I carry the “shield of Faith” to “put out the burning arrows of the evil one.” (Ephesians 6:16)

I accept “Salvation from God to be my helmet and receive the Word of God from the Spirit to use as a sword.” (Ephesians 6:17)

In the name of Jesus Christ crucified, died and risen, I bind all the spirits of the air, the atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground, the underground, and the netherworld. I also bind the influence of any lost or fallen soul who may be present, and all emissaries of the Satanic headquarters or any coven of witches or warlocks or Satan worshipers who may be present in some preternatural way. I claim the Blood of Jesus on the air and atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground and their fruits all around us, the underground and the netherworld.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid every adversary mentioned to communicate with or help one another in any way, or to communicate with me, or to do anything at all except what I command in Jesus' Name.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I seal this place and all present and all family and associates of those present and their places and possessions and sources of supply in the Blood of Jesus. (Repeat three times.)

In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid any lost spirits, covens, Satanic groups or emissaries or any of their associates, subjects or superiors to harm or take revenge on me, my family and my associates, or cause harm or damage to anything we have.

In the name of Jesus Christ and by the Merits of His Precious Blood, I break and dissolve every curse, hex, seal, spell, sorcery, bond, snare, trap, device, lie, stumbling block, obstacle, deception, diversion or distraction, spiritual chain or spiritual influence, also every disease of body, soul, mind or spirit placed upon us or on this place, or on any of the persons, places and things mentioned, by any agent, or brought on us by our own mistakes or sins. (Repeat three times.)

I now place the Cross of Jesus Christ between myself and all generations in my family tree. I say in the name of Jesus Christ that there will be no direct communication between the generations. All communication will be filtered through the Precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Mary Immaculate, clothe me in the Light, Power and Energy of Your Faith. Father, please assign the Angels and Saints to assist me. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my Wisdom, my Justice, my Sanctification, my Redemption. I surrender to the ministry of Your Holy Spirit, and receive Your Truth concerning intergeneration healing.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the Beginning, is now and ever shall be. AMEN.

THE MIRACLE OF THE SUN - FATIMA CENTENNIAL

The 100th Anniversary of the Sixth Apparition of Fatima
(October 13, 2017)

National Blue Army Shrine of
Our Lady of Fatima
Washington, New Jersey, USA

Speaker: Fr. Andrew Apostoli, C.F.R.,
One of the world’s foremost experts on
the apparitions at Fatima.

October 13, 1917

People descended by the tens of thousands on the cova despite the terrible storm that lashed the mountain country around Fatima. By mid-morning the weather again turned bad and heavy rain began to fall.

Around noon, the children saw a flash of light as Mary appeared before them. For the last time, Lucia asked what she wanted. Mary responded: “I want to tell you that a chapel is to be built here in my honor. I am the Lady of the Rosary. Continue always to pray the Rosary every day. The war is going to end, and the soldiers will soon return to their homes.”

Lucia made requests for cures, conversions and other things. Our Lady’s response was: “Some yes, but not others. They must amend their lives and ask forgiveness for their sins.”

Sister Lucia tells us that at this point Mary grew very sad and said: “Do not offend the Lord our God anymore, because He is already so much offended.” Then, opening her hands, she made them reflect on the sun and, as she ascended, the reflection of her own light continued to be projected on the sun itself. After she disappeared, as the people witnessed the great miracle which had been predicted, the children saw the visions foretold during the September apparition.

The Miracle of the Sun

The greatest miracle to occur since The Resurrection is also the only miracle ever precisely predicted as to date, time of day and location. Although it is popularly known as “The Miracle of the Sun” and October 13, 1917 has come to be known as “The Day the Sun Danced,” a great deal more took place. The solar phenomena included the dancing of the sun, its fluctuations in color, its swirling and its descending toward the earth. There were also the stillness in the leaves of the trees in spite of howling winds, the complete drying of the rain soaked ground, and the restoration of clothes all wet and covered with mud so that, as eye-witness Dominic Reis put it, “they looked as though they had just come back from the cleaners.” Physical cures of the blind and the lame were reported. The countless unreserved public confessions of sin and commitments to conversion of life attest to the authenticity of what they saw.

The miracle is reported to have been seen from as far as 15-25 miles away, thus ruling out the possibility of any type of collective hallucination or mass hypnotism. Doubters and skeptics had become believers. Even O Seculo’s chief editor, Avelino de Almeida, who had written satirically before, now reported affirmatively, and stood by his story later on in spite of harsh criticism.

Good Friday (April 14, 2017)

Nestled among tea plantations outside Kampala, the hilltop shrine of Kiwamirembe had its roots as a site of prayer for peace during Uganda’s devastating civil wars. It was finally launched in 1989 as a place for spiritual refuge, healing and thanksgiving for deliverance from the wars.

Kiwamirembe means “giver of peace.” ...The shrine draws pilgrims throughout the year, for overnight vigils, daily Masses, Stations of The Cross and Good Friday Passion walks.
_ Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J.
