Good morning,
God morning to you.
Love is taking care of you.
Can you trust that?
Can you surrender to that,
That love is taking care of everything?
Robert Adams says love is the same as absolute consciousness,
Pure intelligence,
Or the power of God.
When you have enough love inside you,
There really are no problems.
Problems only arise when you believe you're separated and loveless.
Love takes care of everything,
God takes care of everything.
Close that body's eyes and let him take care of you,
Let him love you,
Let him quiet you.
Can you hear his silence?
The silence of God,
That's the presence of God,
Find it between my words.
I'm going to read you the words from Father Dolindo Rotolo,
He was given these words from Jesus in a private revelation for you today.
This message is for you,
From Jesus to your soul.
He says,
Why are you upset and agitated?
Leave your cares to me and all will be fine.
I tell you honestly,
Every act of true and blind reliance on me results in what you desire and will resolve all your difficulties.
Abandonment in me does not mean being frustrated,
Becoming anxious and desperate,
Offering me your anxious prayer that I may follow you and have your anxiety be a prayer.
Abandonment means to shut the eyes of your soul in peace,
Moving your thoughts away from your troubles.
And instead of thinking about your worries and pain,
Let me take over your troubles.
I really say,
Jesus,
You take over.
To be worried,
Restless,
And to think of the consequences of an event is the opposite of reliance.
It's really contrary to it.
It's like a child who wants his mom to take care of his needs,
But in the way he wants,
And with his whims and childish ideas,
He hampers her work.
Shut your eyes and go with the flow of my grace.
Do not ponder over your present moment and put away thoughts of your future as a temptation.
Rest in me.
Believe in my goodness.
And I swear on my love that if you think like this,
Jesus,
You take over.
I indeed will do it for you.
I will comfort you,
Free you,
And guide you.
If I have to take you in a different direction from the one you are looking at,
I will train you.
I will take you up in my arms and you will find yourself like a baby sleeping in his mother's arms on the other shore.
What gives you immense stress and hurts you is your reasoning over it,
Your thoughts and the pains it gives you.
It is wanting at all costs to take care by yourself of what is afflicting you.
How many things I can do,
Be it a material or a spiritual need,
When the soul turns to me,
Looks at me,
And says to me,
Jesus,
You take over.
And closes its eyes and rests in me.
You do not receive many graces because you insist on getting them by yourself.
But instead,
You will receive numberless graces when your prayer is in full reliance on me.
When you are in pain and you pray that I may act,
You want me to act as you believe I should.
You do not turn to me,
Instead you want me to submit to your ideas.
You're like a sick person who does not ask the doctor for the cure,
But tells him what the cure is to be.
Don't be like this,
But pray as I taught you in the Our Father.
Hollowed be your name,
Which means may you be glorified in this need of mine,
God.
Your kingdom come,
Which means everything may work toward your kingdom in us and in the world.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
Which means you direct it as it seems best to you for the good of our eternal and temporal life.
When you truly tell me,
Your will be done,
Which is the same then to say,
Jesus,
You take over,
Then I do intervene with all my omnipotence and I will resolve every situation even if there is no way out.
For example,
Do you see your sickness becoming worse instead of improving?
Don't become anxious.
Close your eyes and tell me with trust,
Your will be done,
Jesus,
You take over.
I repeat it,
I do take care.
I intervene like a doctor and even do a miracle if it is necessary.
Does a patient become worse?
Don't be frightened.
Close your eyes and say,
Jesus,
You take over.
I tell you again,
I will indeed do it for you and there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention.
I take over only when you close your eyes.
You never sleep.
You want to appraise everything,
To think,
To delve into everything.
You choose to rely on human power or worse,
On men,
Trusting their intervention.
This is what hampers my words and my will.
Oh,
How much I long for this reliance in order to assist you and how much I grieve to see your anxiety.
Satan does just this.
He gives you anxiety to remove me from you and throw you into human initiative.
Trust only in me instead,
Rest in me,
Rely on me in everything.
I do miracles in proportion to your complete reliance on me with no thought of yourself.
I spread treasures of graces when you are in the most squalid poverty.
If you have your own resources,
Even a few,
Or if you seek them,
You are at the natural level.
Thus,
You follow the natural way of things,
Which often are dominated by Satan.
Never a thinker or a philosopher has done any miracle,
Not even among the saints.
Only he who relies on God does divine work.
When you see that things become complicated,
Say with your eyes closed,
Jesus,
I abandon myself to you,
Jesus,
You take over.
And stop worrying about it because your mind is dull and for you it is difficult to distinguish evil,
But trust in me and let your mind wander away from your thoughts.
Do this for all your needs,
All of you,
Do this and you shall see great things,
Endless and silent miracles.
I swear it on my love,
I shall indeed take over,
You can be sure of it.
Pray always with this loving confidence and you shall have great peace and great fruits,
Even when I choose for you the grace of immolating yourself for reparation and the love that entails suffering.
Do you believe it is possible?
Shut your eyes and say with all your soul,
Jesus,
You take over.
Don't be afraid,
I indeed will take care of you and you shall bless my name in humility.
A thousand prayers do not equal only one act of abandonment.
Don't ever forget it,
There is no better novena than this,
Oh Jesus,
I abandon myself to you.
Jesus,
You take over,
Our love,
You take over,
When I say Jesus,
You take over,
I can hear the silence again,
The worrying stops and it's like the love starts,
I can feel love again and then it's like Paul in the Bible when he says,
I no longer live but Christ lives in me,
The life I now live in the body I live by faith,
You are saved by faith,
That love lives now,
That love moves those arms,
Moves that mouth,
Speaks,
Love speaks,
You don't have to worry about the right words,
They come when you say love,
You take over.
For me,
Love is Jesus,
Is the name of God,
Jesus,
You take over and it's not like I then sit and do nothing,
No,
The other day I was in the laundry room and it was a mess and I looked around and I said,
Jesus,
You take over and I laughed to myself because I'm like,
Is it going to magically get cleaned,
You know,
Is a maid going to show up and clean this room and no,
No maid showed up,
Nikki was cleaning that room the next day in a very inspired way,
A very swift way and it's beautiful now and it didn't feel like a chore,
It didn't feel like work,
It just got done,
It was what was happening in that holy instant as it says in A Course in Miracles,
Everything becomes holy,
I have a cold right now and every cough which hurts my back is a holy cough,
That pain in my back,
It's a holy pain,
I feel it and I feel holiness,
I feel love,
Jesus,
You take care of it,
I abandon myself to you,
I give this cold to you,
I suffer it for this time,
For you,
Everything you do,
You do it for the love of God and then it gets easier,
That cross gets lighter,
I told you before that I would teach you how to pray the rosary and I will but this felt more urgent because I could feel your stress,
I can feel your anxiety,
Your uncertainty,
Your increasing desperation for solutions,
For the light and of all the prayers I've prayed,
This one works because you learn to accept the moment,
Not to accept the circumstance,
Not to accept the abuse but to stop in whatever circumstance you find yourself in just for a moment and close your eyes and listen,
I told you I listen for the feeling of love and that may not be clear to you but one day it will be but something that's more clear is for you to stop and close your eyes and say Jesus,
You take over and know that it is done,
It is finished,
The moment you can remember to say that,
The moment I would hear silence in the middle of that hospital or that airport or that school or wherever I find myself stressed and then that love would rush in,
Something would change,
Things would change,
This nine days of prayer,
They call it a novena in the Catholic tradition,
This body was born into the Catholic tradition and so you pray a prayer of surrender every day for nine days consecutively and you can continue to do it every day for the rest of your life but at least for these nine days and you will see change.
An author Mara McKeegan shared about this novena back in 2020 and in 2023 she wrote,
I have since received messages from people around the world telling me of the graces,
The blessings and miracles they have received through praying the surrender novena.
These graces have included emotional healing,
Spiritual conversion,
Job offers after unemployment,
Assistance with a peaceful death,
Physical healing,
Strength for caregivers,
Financial relief,
Help with resolving serious family problems and more.
What will it do in your life?
The best part is you can use words,
You can tell God what it is you think you need before we get started and we're about to get started with day one and so right now I want you to take a moment and I want you to give your most urgent need to God in words.
Tell him what you need to appear or to disappear,
What you need healed or to be fixed,
To be solved and don't speak it into a nothingness,
Speak it to this love,
Speak it to the silence as if it is a living being because it is.
Give it to the feet of the silence,
Place it at the feet of love and then leave it there,
Know it is finished,
Say it is finished and now I'm going to read you the day one prayer and then we're going to recite or you can say chant the mantra 10 times and then we'll say the concluding prayer together and all of this will be in the show notes.
Each daily prayer will be Jesus's words to your soul as they were given to father Dolindo Rotolo.
Day one prayer,
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 and now we'll repeat this prayer 10 times.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
Oh Jesus,
I surrender myself to you,
Take care of everything.
And now the concluding prayer and you can say this with me,
The words are in the show notes.
Mother,
I am yours now and forever through you and with you,
I always want to belong completely to Jesus.
Amen.
Were you praying that to someone or to no one?
I want you to feel the difference.
If you were praying it to no one,
I want you to pray it again with those eyes closed as if someone is standing right on the other side of those closed eyelids,
Praying with you,
Bowing with you,
Loving with you,
Listening with you.
The truth is that there's only one.
You're the one praying and the one listening.
That's how you know you're heard.
You're heard.
You hear.
He's you.
But until we get there,
Just feel his presence.
Pretty soon you'll know you are his presence.
So pray it again,
This time with love,
With the light.
And if you are uncomfortable with the name Jesus,
And I was,
I was that person for a long time because I heard that name from people I considered to be hypocritical and mean.
And I thought if they pray to Jesus and they act like this,
There can't be any truth here.
But I've read a lot of truth.
I've gone down a lot of paths and every path I go down,
Every teacher from every tradition I've investigated,
Every contemporary teacher references Jesus,
Comes back to Jesus.
That name comes up everywhere,
All the time.
It comes up here.
He came up here.
But I'm not telling you to use that name.
Use love.
Use Ram.
Use Christ.
Use Krishna.
Use whatever name of your teacher,
Your guru.
It's not the name Jesus taught.
It's the faith that saves you.
It's the love that saves you.
The name isn't magic,
But the faith is.
And you'll come to see that when you get to a certain point,
The faith no longer wavers.
It's no longer reaching to grasp onto this or onto that.
In a way you could say this is the last prayer you pray,
A prayer of surrender,
Because eventually you surrender even yourself,
Even the one who's praying,
And only love remains.
We'll be right back here for day two tomorrow morning.
I love you,
And we'll chat soon.
