"Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." ~Matthew 5:48 There is a huge difference between the world's version of perfection and God's version of perfection. One leads to misery, and the other to true freedom. But how do we know which one we are striving for? What are the fruits of each? ~~~ Healing Heart of Jesus Ministry Learn more about the mission of this ministry and how you can Support the Healing Heart of Jesus Ministry here.

This meditation is an audio version of the First Station (The Agony in the Garden) as written in the The Passion Suffered by the Heart of Jesus: Prayerful Reflections on the Stations of the Cross. Description of book: Imagine a heart so pure and on fire with love for all of humankind that it would stop at nothing to save us from the eternity we have merited, even if it meant enduring the most severe betrayal, rejection, and torture, and ultimately death. This is the very Heart of Jesus, and ...

Surrender Novena - Day 9 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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 si...
Surrender Novena - Day 8 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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. Surrender Prayer: "O Jesus, I surrender myself...
Surrender Novena - Day 7 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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 thi...
Surrender Novena - Day 6 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: You are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to 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 ja...
Surrender Novena - Day 5 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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 your desire at all costs to deal with what afflicts you. Surrender Prayer: "O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take...
Surrender Novena - Day 4 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: Do 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, an...
Surrender Novena - Day 3 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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 pr...
Surrender Novena - Day 2 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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 f...
Surrender Novena - Day 1 Prayer: Jesus to the soul: 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. Surrender Prayer: "O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything!" (pray 10 times) Prayer the Blessed Virgin Mary: Mother, I am yours now and forever. Throug...
