For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. Romans 12:3
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!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!
Day 7 of 9 of The Surrender Novena by Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970).
This reading ministered to my soul.
I located much-needed troves of graces when I read it yesterday. Let me explain. The Spirit reminded me after reading and re-reading this that the place of deepest poverty is a place of need and helplessness.
Too often I find myself in that place. Jesus graciously reminded me that I am there by my own choosing. Ouch! The proportion idea changes everything. God forgive me for thinking to much about myself.
Sit in the implications of this. He cares about delivering us from our our deepest poverty more than we do. When we let him sort impossible situations we experience the continual silent miracles.
O Jesus, we surrender ourselves to you, take care of everything!
