Total Surrender to God: 7 Last Words of Jesus (part 7) – The Inner Life – March 27, 2026

IL – Fr. John Paul Erickson joins Patrick for the last chapter of our special Lenten Series on the 7 Last Words of Jesus – today’s topic: “Total Surrender to God” (6:17) What is the connection to the Psalms and this last word of Jesus? (15:29) what holds us back from surrendering entirely to the will of the Father? (19:50) Break 1 (20:57) How do you answer the question of does God really care about me and can I trust Him? (28:54) Carol - I'm an associate for an order. I serve worldwide for the sisters from home. I suffer from terminal illness. It's that surrender to God we're all trying to get to. Why does God allow suffering? (36:23) Break 2 (38:33) Laurie - Husband and I suffered 2 miscarriages. Another born and survived only days. Knowing God had a greater purpose. I figured we'd have 5-6 kids. I worked at a daycare. We adopted two children. God places these things before us and uses us as an instrument. (43:23) If we are to experience suffering why should we be faithful Christians? Serenity Prayer
