About this sermon

Fr. Mark-Mary talks about the most necessary step in order to surrender to God, the thing that provides the greatest strength in the spiritual life. Step one always has to be going to God and asking for his help. God is good, present, and active in your life. To surrender, you need to let God in and let him take over your life. Fr. Mark-Mary recommends this simple prayer: “God I give you permission to take what I am not strong enough to give.” He will respond with his grace.
