The following Litany of Humility is a Catholic prayer for humility. This Litany was not written by Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val (1865-1930), Cardinal Secretary of State of the Holy See under Pope Saint Pius X. The composer was Charles Belmonte. Inspired by some writings of said Cardinal, he wrote it and published it as part of the ''Handbook of Prayers'' (Studium Theologiae Foundation, Manila, 1986), and later on by Midwest Theological Forum, Chicago, US. The author wrote: "attributed to Card. Merry del Val". Subsequent copists, jumping to conclusions, wrote: "by Card. Merry del Val". ==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, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the desire of being extolled, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the desire of being honored, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the desire of being praised, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the desire of being preferred to others, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the desire of being consulted, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the desire of being approved, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of being humiliated, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of being despised, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of suffering rebukes, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of being calumniated, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of being forgotten, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of being ridiculed, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : From the fear of being wronged, ''Deliver me, Jesus.'' : 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, ''Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.'' : That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease, ''Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.'' : That others may be chosen and I set aside, ''Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.'' : That others may be praised and I unnoticed, ''Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.'' : That others may be preferred to me in everything, ''Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.'' : 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.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Litany of humility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
