Dear Jamidah,
I say prayers for you every day. Each day I work on painting your portrait.
Your beautiful face shines with courage. How I admire you!
with love, Robert
I am praying for you and I ask Mother Mary, Saint Monica and Saint Luke to pray for you too.
Dear Jamidah
What a terrible time you have had and continue to. I am so very sorry. I wish you all God’s help and I offer you a great prayer which has helped me whenever I am troubled and many, many other people also. Please God this will be so for you, too. With very best wishes for your full recovery and for your intentions for yourself and your beloved children, from Coryn. Here it is with an introduction:
FR DOLINDO RUOTOLO
1882-1970
A Prophet of our Time
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you
On November 19, 1970 Fr Dolindo Ruotolo died aged 88. St Padre Pio once said of this priest from Naples, Italy, “The whole of paradise is in your soul.” His name “Dolindo” means “Pain” and his life was rich with this pain. As a child, teenager, seminarian and priest, he experienced humiliation, which was the realisation of the prophetic words of a bishop who said “You will be a martyr, but in your heart, not with your blood.”
In his profound humility, he was able to hear the words of God. Even with his hidden life he was one of the greatest prophets of the last century. He wrote to Bishop Hnilica in 1965, that a new John will rise out of Poland with heroic steps to break the chains beyond the boundaries imposed by the communist tyranny. On this postcard, he wrote words of consolation for Poland and all the countries suffering under the communist regime. This prophecy was realised in the papacy of John Paul II.
In his tremendous suffering, Dolindo became more and more a child who lived his self-offering to the Divine Father. “I am totally poor, a poor nothing. My strength is my prayer, my leader is the will of God which I let take me by the hand. My security over the uneven path is the heavenly mother Mary.”
One of the treasures from the words which Jesus spoke to Dolindo was the teaching about total abandonment to God.
In this Novena, Jesus is talking to Don Dolindo and also to you.
Words of Jesus to Don Dolindo Ruotolo:
NOVENA OF SURRENDER TO JESUS
Day 1
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.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 2
Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to me a worried prayer asking me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act, saying “You take care of it”.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need turns to me, looks at me and says to me: “You take care of it”, then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead you want me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: “Hallowed be thy Name”, that is, be glorified in my need. “Thy kingdom come”, that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven”, that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: “Thy will be done”, which is the same as saying: “You take care of it”, I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 4
You see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry, close your eyes and say to me with faith: “Thy will be done. You take care of it”. I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor, and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say “You take care of it”.
I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 Times)
Day 5
And when I must lead you on a path different from the one you see, I will prepare you; I will carry you in my arms; I will let you find yourself, like children who have fallen asleep in their mother’s arms, on the other bank of the river. What troubles you and hurts you immensely are your reason, your thoughts and worry, and you desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 6
You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender 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)
Day 7
I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever performed miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it any more, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 8
Close your eyes and let yourself be carried away on the flowing current of my grace; close your eyes and do not think of the present, turning your thoughts away from the future just as you would from temptation. Repose in me, believing in my goodness, and I promise you by my love that if you say “You take care of it”, I will take care of it all; I will console you, liberate you and guide you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Day 9
Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender – remember this well.
There is no novena more effective than this:
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Mother Mary, I am yours now and forever.
Through you and with you I always want
to belong completely to Jesus
Dear Jamidah,
“‘“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.” [ NUMBERS, chapter 6 verses 24-26 ]
Dear Jamidah,
You are the daughter of The King. In the book of 1 Corinthians, it says God searches the whole earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. I pray He not only strengthen your heart, but he restores your health and provides for you and your family with abundance. I wish I could help ease your burden, but know I will be praying for God to remove all of the mountains of difficulty you are facing.
Dear Jamidah,
God wonderfully made you and will keep you that way. I will pray also for your basket business. May God bless you with abundance and good health, and may He keep you and your children safe.
With love, Vicki
Dear Jamidah,
You have come through so much. I am praying that your healing will be complete, that you will receive successful surgery on your head, and that your business and your children will prosper. May the pain and trials you’ve had grow into a new strength for you.
Dearest Jamidah,
The Lord is with you always, the love of your children, the strength of your conviction, your courage and your faith all show what an amazing woman you are. Thankyou for being an inspiration, you are in my prayers.
God Bless from Stacey, Australia
Dear Jamidah,
You have been in my prayers and thoughts. May God bless you and give you strength. Your children should be proud to have you as their mother.
Wish you recovery and that a surgeon sent by the Lord can help you.
Love from Brazil.
St. Mary, St. Joseph, and St. Luke, pray for Jamidah!

I hear your pain you are in a very difficult situation and you feel very abandoned. But you are not alone we are all praying for you. Please I pray you keep hope that God is faithful and is working towards your prayers. He always delivers, I promise you.

Dear Jamidah,
You have tried so hard to do the right thing by everyone. You have committed yourself to your children’s father. You forgave him a violent attack which I hope was a reflection of his pain in the moment and which he is truly sorry for, also being equally committed to you. You tried to honour your parents. You have shown such courage.
“Even if your Mother and Father forget you, I will never forget you. See I have written you on the palms of my hands” is the Bible verse that comes to mind praying for you. You are not forgotten. You are valued. Though life is hard God is there walking by your side ready for you to lean on. I have prayed as you have asked. I look forward to hearing good news about your recovery and life. God bless you. x
Dear Jamidah
I’ll keep you and your children in my prayers for all you needs to be provided to you and that you’ll be protected from all further harm and also for healing, physically and emotionally. You are a beautiful, courageous woman!
God bless you and your five children
Dear Jamidah, My family and I pray for your connection to a surgeon and for the growth of your basket and mat weaving business. May God bless you with continued faith, love and strength! Love and prayers from The Cooke Family
God Bless you and keep you safe and meet your needs
Dear Jamidah,
I pray that the Good Lord will bring you the surgeon and complete healing. May God grant your children education for a lifetime. You are in my prayers.
God bless,
John Hanes

I also pray that the acid burns on your skin (especially the hole) will be repaired by doctors. God will take care of you. Stay strong.
With love, support and healing, always.
Prayers for continued strength and courage.
