The Life of Don Dolindo Ruotolo

Don Dolindo Ruotolo was born in Naples, Italy, in 1882 and died there in 1970. A priest, mystic, and victim soul, he endured numerous sufferings and trials throughout his life, embracing them with extraordinary faith and growing steadily in holiness. He received many spiritual locutions from Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Among these heavenly gifts was the Surrender Novena, a prayer that has since brought comfort and trust in God's providence to countless souls around the world.Maria Palma Smith is a wife, mother, grandmother, and Third Order Franciscan.
