“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.
