In this episode of The Lenten Path, Mary reflects on one of the most personal and challenging acts of surrender—letting go of the desire to control others. Whether it’s with family, friends, or strangers, we often believe we know what’s best and struggle when people don’t change according to our expectations.

Drawing from Romans 14 and the example of Christ, Mary reminds us that God—not us—is the master of every heart. Through prayer, trust, and letting go of outcomes, we’re invited to step back and allow God to do what only He can. This Lent, may we surrender control and grow in love that trusts more than it insists.
