Litany of Humility

O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, hear me. From the desire of being esteemed, loved, extolled, honored, praised, preferred, consulted, or approved, deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being humiliated, despised, rebuked, calumniated, forgotten, ridiculed, wronged, or 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 go unnoticed, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
