Marijana's recent message from Our Lady said that our pride is keeping us from living her messages. In the light of this I thought this might be a good place to post the Litany of Humility that I have posted a while back. Here it is in a more timely moment given Our Lady's message.

The Litany of Humility


O Jesus meek and humble of heart, Hear me.

From the desire of being esteemed, deliver me
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...
Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being humiliated, deliver me Jesus
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,
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 may become holier than I, provided that I become as holy as I should,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. Amen.
O Jesus meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
