THANK you. Isn’t it a wonderful, though frightening, prayer?

TO me it makes clear that loving Jesus involves a kind of detachment from being all hung about about moi.

Maybe if I pray it 1,000 years I’ll stop being so all about me.

Thanks for the ping. I think I will pray this Litany every day when I start back to work in September. I worry constantly about a very negative, critical co-worker and this prayer gets to the heart of the matter. The lines regarding fear are especially meaningful.

Lord, my desire to be liked and approved of, and my fear of being criticized, show a lack of faith and trust in You. Help me to grow in my faith and humility.
