Litany of Humility
O Jesus meek and humble of heart...
Deliver me from the desire to be loved,
Deliver me from the desire to be extolled,
Deliver me from the desire to be honored,
Deliver me from the desire to be respected,
Deliver me from the desire to be praised,
Deliver me from the desire to be consulted,
Deliver me from the desire to be seen,
Deliver me from the desire to be approved by others,
Deliver me from the fear of being humiliated,
Deliver me from the fear of being mocked,
Deliver me from the fear of being laughed at,
Deliver me from the fear of being cursed,
Deliver me from the fear of being forgotten,
Deliver me from the fear of being wronged,
Deliver me from the fear of being riddiculed,
Deliver me from the fear of being scorn,
Grant to me Jesus the desire that others may become holier than I,
provided I become as holy as I should.
