Christmas Novena Day 6
Dear Family of Mary!
This
is the sixth day of our Novena before Christmas! Again today the parish
will climb Apparition Hill, praying the Rosary. We will join them live,
through Mary TV!
The
Lord speaks to Father Dolindo today about how important it is not to
try to micromanage our own lives. There is a danger for us in becoming
too concerned about our everyday affairs. We can become little kings in
our little realms, directing everything. And the enemy steps in and
agitates us about everything, making us lose our peace and our
perspective. Our Lady also warned us about this kind of unwise behavior.
October 16, 1986 "Dear children! Today again I want to show you how much I love you, but I am sorry that I am not able to help each one to understand my love. Therefore, dear children, I am calling you to prayer and complete surrender to God, because satan wants to sift you through everyday affairs and in your life he wants to snatch the first place. Therefore, dear children, pray without ceasing! Thank you for having responded to my call."
Novena of Surrender to the Will of God, Day 6
(Jesus speaks to Fr. Ruotolo)
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.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Let us pray 7 Our Fathers, 7 Hail Marys and 7 Glory bes...
Lord
Jesus, through the Intercession of Your Mother, Mary, we want to stop
directing everything and start praying to You to take over in our
lives. May we learn to stop judging and fretting about things and
instead turn to You for help. May we learn to surrender our entire
selves to You, that we may give you glory and honor all our days, and
especially at this celebration of your Incarnation and Nativity. We are
all yours through the guidance and intercession of our Mother, Mary!
Amen.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
