S13 Day 54 - Sorrowful Mysteries in Thanksgiving
Hello family, and welcome to Day 54 of our 54-Day Rosary Novena. I’m your host, Maritza Mendez, and I just want to say this from my heart; I am so proud of you.
Staying faithful to prayer for 54 days is not easy. It takes trust, humility, and love for God. You showed up. You prayed. You stayed. And that matters more than you know.
Today we reflect on Mary’s example of surrender.
Today, we look to Mary, our Blessed Mother, and her example of surrender. Mary didn’t always understand God’s plan. She didn’t have all the details. But she trusted.
She said yes, not because everything made sense, but because she trusted God with her life.
Surrender doesn’t mean giving up. It means placing our lives in God’s hands and trusting that He knows what He’s doing.
As we finish this novena, we also begin something new,
walking in freedom, trusting God with what’s next.
I want to share something personal with you. In 2020, I prayed this novena and asked God for something very specific. The answer was always very clear: no.
I prayed the same intention for five novenas, and still, no. Until one day I finally said, “God, I get it. It’s a no.”
And then—years later, during Season 12— God turned everything around when I least expected it. It became a clear yes.
But during the waiting, something beautiful happened:
I built my relationship with God—slowly, faithfully, deeply.
And that relationship continues to grow.
So if your prayers haven’t been answered yet, please hear this: God’s answers are often yes, no, or not yet. And all three are acts of love.
Have faith. God always has a plan.
