What is the Surrender Prayer Novena?
The Surrender Novena is a simple yet profound series of prayers over nine days. Each day focuses on abandoning our worries, struggles, and intentions to Jesus with childlike trust. It was given by Jesus to Fr. Dolindo, a humble Italian priest, as a way to guide souls into deeper faith and peace.
Why is it Important?
So many of us carry anxieties about family, health, finances, or the future. This novena is important because it directly addresses our need for control and replaces it with trust in God’s providence. Instead of clinging to fear, we are invited to repeat daily: “Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything.”
This prayer is especially beloved among Catholic moms, families, and those discerning God’s will. It brings peace, healing, and the reminder that God’s plan is always greater than our own.
