How to Move a Mountain | The Surrender Novena Day 1 (Advanced)

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” – Matthew 17:20

__________________________________________

You feel like you’ve been holding your breath your whole life,

but now you can exhale.

You don’t have to be released from your old life.

Your old life is not– 

It’s like a dream you woke up from. 

You don’t have to let it go, just like you don’t let your night dreams go. 

You just wake up, and it’s seen for what it is. 

You feel like there’s a mountain in front of you,

and I told you that all you have to do is believe that if you tell it to move,

it will–

from here to (t)here. 

Tell it. 

You ‘tell it’ by feeling Love. 

That’s the ‘telling’. 

The Love Speaks. 

You think you’re choosing to tell it,

but I chose you, 

to know it isn’t there. 

We don’t move mountains,

we love mountains…

we feel Love where we see moutains, 

and they bow. 

I Love you, 

nik

Surrender Novena Day 1 – Father Dolindo Ruotolo 

“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.

O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)

Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.”

QUOTES 

Affirm: “I was chosen by God to thrive on this earth; therefore, whatever I ask according to His will, I have.” – Mykesha Mack 

Silence knows how to function but your mind does not trust the Silence.” – @SatyaSpeaks 

“Mary, Mother of Sorrows, remains at the foot of the cross. She simply stands there. She does not run away, or try to save herself, or find ways to alleviate her grief. Here is the proof of true compassion: to remain standing beneath the cross To stand there weeping, yet with the faith that knows that, in her son, God transfigures pain and suffering and triumphs over death.” – Pope Francis

“When the Lord God, the Holy Spirit, visits us [he says] and comes to us in the fullness of his ineffable goodness, then we have to stop praying and refrain from prayer itself. The praying soul speaks and offers up words, but at the descent of the Holy Spirit it must be utterly silent so that it can clearly hear and truly understand the words of eternal life which the Spirit condescends to bring to it.” -St Seraphim of Sarov

“Secure in the knowledge that Jesus the Christ stands behind me and his light shines through me.” – Borgia (TV series on Amazon) 

“You may discover that when there is no resistance to totally being in hell, that heaven opens up and samsara reveals its true nature as nirvana. But the catch is, if you are embracing hell as a strategy to get you to heaven, that doesn’t work. Only the complete absence of wanting what is to be different in any way pops the imaginary bubble of separation. No one can do this. It is like dying or falling asleep. It is the absence of any doing, the absence of control, the absence of effort, the absence of any concern about what happens. It is a letting go, a dissolving, a relaxing. This letting go begins with letting go even of the need to let go, for the need to fall asleep keeps us awake, just as the imperative to surrender is a form of holding on and seeking control. True surrender is the absence of resistance even to holding on if that is how life is showing up in this moment. Surrender is the absence of trying to surrender.”- Joan Tollifson
