Interior Fold #1:
O JESUS, I SURRENDER MYSELF TO YOU !
As you can see from this novena much of what our Lord wants flies in the face of normal human inclination and reason. We can only rise to this level of thinking through the grace of God and the help of the Holy Spirit.
We must let go of our problems; stop worrying and trying to resolve them ourselves. ‘We must believe, trust, and allow our Lord to rescue us from ourselves and supply our wants and needs; and to resolve our problems as only He can.
"Jesus, You take care of it," should be the first words that come to mind and then flow from our lips. After all, we have tried to do things our way and look where it has gotten us.
Just do as the prayer says, open our hearts and minds in love and close our eyes in trust and ask Jesus to take care of it. He will.
Translation of French Depose antique holy card:
Long live Jesus!
Behold the Heart that has loved mankind so much It is pure Love and Mercy!
Come to Me.....All of you who are tired and afflicted and I will comfort you..... –Mat 11:26
Wherever this Image is exposed and honored, it will attract all kinds of blessings. –Our Lord to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

THE SURRENDER NOVENA*
Given by Jesus to Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo
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 close 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)
