Finally, we ask for the gift of Unconditional Love, that we can live the Family Life of the Blessed Trinity as reflected in the Holy Family at Nazareth thus bringing to fruition Jesus’ prayer for unity, and peace in justice throughout the world. Amen.

Prayer of Consecration to the
United Heart of the Holy Family

Eternal Father, you alone are the Creator.

At each and every moment, you alone give my life existence. You are the designer and author of my freedom. Through my holy baptism, I know that I have become your child, and my greatest desire is to always share in your divine life of love, which you give so freely to me.

It is you alone I desire to know, adore, love and serve.

Most Holy Family, you are tenderly joined as one in the Father through the Incarnate Word Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Through your love and knowledge of each other, you reflect the divine life and union of the Blessed Trinity.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, Immaculate Heart of Mary and Just Heart of St. Joseph, you are the perfect model of family love and unity because your hearts “beat as one.”

I offer myself to God the Father through your United Heart and in each Eucharistic Celebration as an act of love, asking that He will consecrate me and bring me to total union with Him. I entrust each member of my family to your United Heart and ask that you assist them on the road to holiness and to their eternal home in Heaven.

Help me abandon egoism and self-centeredness so that I may become centered on the will of the Trinity, and please mark my soul with the seal of the Holy Family’s united love.

Heart of Jesus I adore you, Heart of Mary I implore you, Heart of Joseph ever just, in this Heart I place my trust.

Amen

Novena of Miraculous, Surrendering Prayer

By Servant of God Fr. Don Dolindo Ruotolo

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (Pray this prayer line 10 times after each daily meditation)


Day 1 Meditation

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.at


Day 2 Meditation

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.”


Day 3 Meditation

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.


Day 4 Meditation

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.


Day 5 Meditation

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.


Day 6 Meditation

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.


Day 7 Meditation

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 anymore, 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.


Day 8 Meditation

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.


Day 9 Meditation

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.


Concluding Prayer:

Mother, I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you
I always want to belong
completely to Jesus.

Servant of God Fr. Don Dolindo Ruotolo was, for a short time, the spiritual director of Padre Pio. He also had the gift of prophecy, writing to Bishop Huilica in 1965 that “a new John will rise out of Poland with heroic steps to break the chains beyond the boundaries imposed by the communist tyranny.” This prophecy was realized in Pope John Paul II. Don Dolindo received from Jesus the words of Surrender Novena. It is a prayer that is especially timely now, when world events feel out of control, and we are trying to grow in trust and abandonment to God’s providence.
