ACT OF ABANDONMENT TO JESUS
by Don Dolindo Ruotolo
Jesus to souls:
- Why do you become confused and agitated? Leave the care of your affairs to me, and everything will calm down. I tell you truly that every act of true, blind, and complete abandonment to me produces the desired effect and resolves thorny situations.
Abandonment to me does not mean fretting, becoming upset, and despairing, then turning to me in agitated prayer to follow you, thus transforming agitation into prayer. Abandonment means placidly closing the eyes of your soul, turning your thoughts away from tribulation, and entrusting yourself to me so that I alone can help you find yourself, like children sleeping in their mother's arms, on the other shore. What upsets you and does you immense harm is your reasoning, your thoughts, your preoccupation, and the desire at all costs to provide for what afflicts you.
How many things I accomplish when the soul, in both its spiritual and material needs, turns to me, looks at me, and, saying, "You take care of it," closes its eyes and rests! You have few graces when you strive to produce them; you have many when prayer is full entrustment to me. In your pain, you pray for me to work, but for me to work as you believe... You don't turn to me, but you want me to adapt to your ideas; you are not sick people who ask the doctor for a cure, but rather, who suggest it to him. Don't do this, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: "Hallowed be your name," that is, be glorified in this need of mine; "Your kingdom come," that is, may everything in us and in the world work together for your kingdom; "Your will be done," that is, YOU THINK OF IT.
If you truly say to me, "Thy will be done," which is the same as saying, "You take care of it," I intervene with all my omnipotence and resolve the most difficult situations. See, do you see that the illness is worsening instead of ebbing away? Don't worry, close your eyes and tell me with confidence, "Thy will be done, You take care of it." I tell you that I take care of it, that I intervene like a doctor, and I even perform a miracle when necessary. Do you see that the patient is getting worse? Don't be upset, but close your eyes and say, "You take care of it." I tell you that I take care of it.
Worry, agitation, and wanting to think about the consequences of an event are counter to abandonment. It's like the confusion children bring, demanding that their mother take care of their needs, yet wanting to do so themselves, hindering her work with their childish ideas and whims.
I only think about it when you close your eyes. You are sleepless, you want to evaluate everything, scrutinize everything, trusting only in men. You are sleepless, you want to evaluate everything, scrutinize everything, think about everything, and so you abandon yourselves to human forces, or worse, to men, trusting in their intervention. This is what hinders my words and my vision. Oh, how I desire this abandonment from you so as to benefit you, and how saddened I am to see you agitated! Satan tends precisely to do this: to agitate you to escape my action and throw you prey to human initiatives. Therefore, trust in me alone, rest in me, abandon yourselves to me in everything. I work miracles in proportion to your complete abandonment to me, and your not caring about yourselves; I spread treasures of graces when you are in utter poverty! If you have your own resources, even a small amount, or if you seek them, you are in the natural realm, and therefore follow the natural course of things, which is often thwarted by Satan. No thinker or ponderer has performed miracles, not even among the Saints.
He who abandons himself to God works divinely.
When you see that things are getting complicated, say with the eyes of your soul closed: "Jesus, take care of it."
And distract yourself, because your mind is sharp... and it is difficult for you to see evil. Trust in me often, distracting yourself from yourself. Do this for all your needs. Do this for all of you, and you will see great, continuous, and silent miracles. I swear it to you by my love. I will take care of it, I assure you. Always pray with this attitude of abandonment, and you will have great peace and great fruit, even when I grant you the grace of the immolation of reparation and love that requires suffering. Does it seem impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul: "Jesus, take care of it." Do not fear, I will take care of it. And you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers are not worth a single act of trusting abandonment: remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this:
O Jesus, I abandon myself to You, take care of it.
