Novena for Letting Go

Show HideJoin us in praying the Novena for Letting Go!
There are many different things that we might need to let go of in our lives. In our fallen world, we face suffering, uncertainty, and difficulties on many occasions. And we often need to find a way to let go of hopes, plans, or attachments when we face such difficulties.
Things like emotional attachment to people or things, hopes for our future, or plans for our lives can all become obstacles to our holiness or to our relationship with God at times. They can also become clearly impractical or unhelpful for our everyday lives.
Whenever such things happen, we are in great need of trust and surrender to God as we work on letting go in our lives.
Let’s offer prayers in this Novena for Letting Go that God will help us and all people who need assistance in letting go to truly surrender to Him.
