Litany of Humility
"If when stung by slander or ill nature, one reacts proud and swells with anger, it is a proof that our gentleness and humility are unreal and mere artificial show.” - St Francis de Sales
"Humility is to the various virtues what the chain is to the rosary. Take away the chain and the beads are scattered. Remove humility and all virtues vanish." - St John Vianney
Litany of Humility
Oh Jesus, meek and humble of heart
Make my heart like unto thine
From the desire to be esteemed, deliver me
From the desire to be honored, deliver me
From the desire to be praised, deliver me
Teach me to accept humiliation, contempt, rebukes, being slandered, being ignored, being insulted, being wronged and being belittled.
Jesus grant me the grace that others be admired more than I
That others be praised and I unnoticed,
That others be preferred to me in everything
That others be holier than I
Provided that I become as holy as I should
That I might imitate the patience and obedience of your mother Mary
Amen
"The greatest among you will be your servant." - Matthew 23:11
