Litany of Humility...


LITANY OF HUMILITY:

O' Jesus, meek and humble of heart, hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed...

Deliver me Jesus...

From the desire of being loved...
From the desire of being extolled...
From the desire of being honored...
From the desire of being praised...
From the desire of being preferred to others...
From the desire of being consulted...
From the desire of being approved...
From the fear of being humiliated...
From the fear of being despised...
From the fear of suffering rebukes...
From the fear of being calumniated...
From the fear of being forgotten...
From the fear of being ridiculed...
From the fear of being wronged...
From the fear of being suspected,

  Deliver me Jesus...


That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
That others may be esteemed more than I...
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase, and I may decrease...
That others may be chosen and I set aside...
That others may be praised and I unnoticed...
That others may be preferred to me in everything...
That others become holier than I, provided that I may become holy as I should,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
