We all should pray this prayer from time to time.....

Litany of Humility

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
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 ...
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,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

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 may become as holy as I should…Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.

God is so good.

Good is so good. What makes it even better is that He makes Himself available to us in Holy Eucharist. Wow. Think about that, when we receive Jesus at mass, we become one with Him, and He becomes one with us. "I love you Lord, YOU are my strength....and I am one with You." Wow. What are we missing here people?! We are truly receiving Jesus when we attend Mass. It has been proven countless amount of times, yet, we countlessly receive the Body and Blood without reverence in the least bit. IT IS NOT A SYMBOL, JESUS IS REAL! Ghandi himself once said that if he believed what we believed, he would be crawling to receive Eucharist, because of the fact that it is GOD that we are receiving THRU HIS SON! Imagine if Catholics truly believed what our faith is? Imagine if people stopped picking and choosing what they wanted, and lived by the faith in ALL of its teachings? There will be a day, and God only knows, that He will unite the world. God is good, God is so good. God is amazing. God is power. God is love. God is justice. God is peace. God is God. He is the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one goes to the Father except thru Him. He is the light of the world, the salt of the earth. It is proven, that if you live your life in accordance to God's will thru sacred scripture, tradition, and works of service, one will be fulfilled in God's eyes, not his/her own. So, why not live it. What's holding you back?
