Day 6 Totally Yours

The Surrender Novena

Day 6

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)

"Surrender to Me in everything." 

Not just some things but all things! 

Do not be agitated! 

Say 'no' to Satan.

Instead pray: Remove this temptation from me. 

Jesus, I trust in You!

Only in the Lord will we find rest. 

 

St. Pope John Paul II's motto was, Totus Tuus, meaning "Totally Yours"!  

"This statement of trust in the Blessed Virgin Mary is not an unimportant factor in reflecting on the life of this great pope. John Paul, following the Marian piety of Saint Louis de Montfort, entrusted all his prayers and works to the Blessed Virgin Mary. We would do well to entrust all our cares and our very lives to her, for she is "the safest, easiest, shortest, and most perfect way" to Jesus and to sanctity. (Treatise on the True Devotion to Mary)." Magnificat Reflection for June 19th 

Blessed Mother, I entrust myself to you! 

Wrap your mantel of protection around me and lead me to your Son.

Make me totally Yours!

Jesus, I trust You with everything! 

 Miracle Prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus  

Dear Heart of Jesus, in the past, I have asked for many favors. This time I ask for a very special one. (Here mention your request.) Take it, dear Jesus, and place it within your own heart, where your Father sees it. Then, in his merciful eyes, it will become your favor and not mine.
