The Surrender Novena
January 01-09, 2026
Novena begins this Thursday, January 01, 2026
The Surrender Novena is a nine-day devotion based on the words Jesus spoke to Servant of God Father Dolindo Ruotolo (1882–1970), an Italian priest known for his deep spiritual life and mystical experiences. At the heart of this novena is a single, powerful invitation: “O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything.”
This novena is especially meaningful for those facing difficult circumstances, uncertain outcomes, or burdens that feel too heavy to carry. It invites us to close the eyes of our soul to worry and rest in the loving care of our Lord.
As Jesus Himself says on Day 9: “A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender.”
