A prayer of the Servant of God,
Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo

Jesus to the soul:

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

To be worried, restless, and to think of the consequences of an event is the opposite of reliance, it is really contrary to it. It is like a child, who wants his mom to take care 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

He had visits from Jesus, Mary, and the angels; he could read souls and prophesy; and, as in the following story, he bilocated.

“Jesus did not reveal han själv to me in an extraordinary way, but simply by intensifying the ordinary channel of my priestly personality,” he explains in the autobiography he wrote under obedience to his confessors in 1923. “He would help me, strengthen me, and oper

The Surrender Novena: Let Jesus Take Care of Everything

“O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything!”

This simple refrain captured my heart from the first time I heard it. I had never heard of the Surrender Novena—the prayer from which these words were taken—nor of Don Dolindo, its author, but I was so taken with this powerful prayer that I immediately wanted to learn more about both.

As it turns out, Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo was a contemporary and friend of someone I have written about many times: Padre Pio.

St. Pio said Don Dolindo was a “saint” and that “the whole of Paradise” was in his soul.

Don Dolindo called himself “Mary’s little old man.” He lived in great poverty, refusing offers of financial assistance because he wanted to remain poor. He opened his arms without fear to embrace contagious sick people, caressing and kissing them. He offered himself as a victim soul for mankind, and was afflicted with many sufferings, including para
