Surrender: Reflection and Novena
In a previous post I wrote about surrender. I also shared the Surrender Novena and invited my readers to join me in prayer.
As we begin a new calendar year, many people make “resolutions” for the year.

What if we make a dedicated effort each day to surrender to God?
Salve, Mater Misericordiae
The Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God is celebrated annually on January 1st.

Merry Christmas
