Hello family, and welcome back to day 21 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I’m so grateful you’re here today.

Before we begin, I want to ask you something simple: invite one person to pray Day 21 with you today. Just one. You never know, one invitation can truly change someone’s life.
This novena grows because you share it, and I’m so thankful for that.

This season, we continue praying for peace in the world, for freedom from addictions, for those who are struggling now,
for those in recovery, and for the families and friends walking with them in love and hope. And as always, we’re praying for the intentions you carry in your heart.

Today, we reflect on letting go of pride and control.

This is one of the hardest parts of healing. Because sometimes, without realizing it, we cling to control out of fear; fear of being hurt, fear of being disappointed again,
fear of seeing our weakness, or fear of not knowing what comes next. And pride can whisper: “I can handle this alone.” “I don’t need help.” “I don’t need to change.” But the truth is…we were never meant to carry everything by ourselves.

God doesn’t ask us to pretend we’re strong. He asks us to be honest; to admit when we’re tired, to admit when we can’t fix it,and to let Him guide us gently toward peace.Letting go isn’t losing control, it’s giving control back to the One who loves us more than we can imagine.

So today, simply pray: “Jesus, I let go. Take what I’m holding too tightly.Lead me, guide me, and make my heart humble.”

If you are keeping up with your journal, ask yourself where am I trying to handle everything on my own? And what is one thing I can surrender to God today? Write it gently. Name it. Offer it.

Blessed Mother, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, today we place before you every heart that is tired, overwhelmed, or afraid to let go. Teach us humility, trust, and surrender.

We pray especially for: Alicia, Amanda, Ana, Anjali, Annmarie, Andre, Anna, Carmine, Cynthi, Detola, Elijah, Elam, Estella, Ezekiel, Federico, Gabe, George, Giovanna, Gladys, Holly, Irene, Jackie,Jane, Janella, Javier, Jasmine, Jersey, soul of Jim, Jimmy, John, Karla, Layne, Lori, Luigi, Margarita, Margie, Mariela, Mariamma, Maria Teresa, Marcelo, Marjorie, Martin, Mayda, Nanette, Nicholas, Nina, Oakes Family, Olga, Patrick, Raju, Ron, Rose, Scott, Sean, Shawn, Stephanie, Stephanie Ann, Thomas, Tristan, Valentinam, and Baby Francis and Baby Micah.
