LITANY OF HUMILITY

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart. Hear me.

Deliver me, Jesus,

From the desire of being esteemed, 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 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.

Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it,

That others may be loved 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 e preferred to me in everything, That others may be preferred o me in everything, That others should become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should.

O Mary, my Mother, how greatly I love Thee! And yet, how little is my love! Thou teachest me all that is necessary for me to know, because Thou teachest me what Jesus is for me and what I ought to be for Jesus. .
