That line really touched me. Pride is my worst fault and I really wish I could be rid of it. While praying for someone I don’t like today, I found myself thinking, “What if they became holier than you?” It’s been bothering me since and so decided to research on humility… Thank you for posting this! It’s something I really need to pray for.

I had a nun teacher once who taught that nothing is a co-incidence that they are all God incidences. At one point I began to reject this litany because some of these ideas did not seem attainable to me at my age (680). However, I have since come to know and love Jesus and I do know that we cannot attain this on our own but rather through perseverence He give the gift to us. He is love and mercy.

Not funny, providential.

I am grinning from ear to ear as I write this because the first principle of my discipleship formation program is, “Everything is gifted providentially.” Emphasis on everything. As I learn more, and my relationship with the Holy Trinity deepens, I understand and believe that there are no coincidences; it'a all God!!

He is SO Good………..and who knew He has such a great sense of humor???

I'll be watching for the post on Monday, Thank you!

This is one of a small group of prayers that were my lifeline when I began my conversion. I had trouble with a few of the requests...........like, "From the desire of being loved, Deliver me Jesus", aren't we supposed to love and be loved in return? But I kept praying it anyway.

I also had to get out a dictionary to find our what I was actually praying for because I didn't know what a couple of the words meant......and I kept praying.

This prayer, more than any other, has shown me that we don't have to want something badly, or be able to pray feverently in order for the prayer to be answered. I knew I wanted to grow in humility, and while I didn't necessarily agree with, or want, all of these petitions, I was given the grace to trust that saying the words faithfully would obtain the desired results, and it did.

I am most grateful to look back now and see that I have a good understanding of the value of each of the petitions in this prayer.

May God bless us all with true humility.
