MC Just Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 I'm not at home right now, I'm in South Texas. I prayed at the Basilica here for this week to be a strenghthening of my faith and maybe a renewal. Obviously the devil doesnt want that. I apologize for offending the Protestants on this board. I was very uncharitable and it was un-called for. The reason I say this now is because I listened to a beautiful message on EWTN about being Humble and Charitable. I fall short on that end. I'm a Christian I should not act that way and I'm sorry. I love Christ and I know he expects me to love you all. I'll be praying for ya'll. Please pray for me.
Livin_the_MASS Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 I'm sorry as well, please pray for me. Jason

Jason[/quote] ack, you people! how am i supposed to feel good about myself when you are asking for forgiveness! I feel like i can learn so much from you people, and now yer making me feel bad! . . . of course this is a *good* thing . . . I really need to find some humility. I think i had some a while back . . . hmmm . . . maybe i left it at my old house *scratches head and thinks* Yeah! I left it in my old room, in the bottom of the closet! oh fine! when you get around to praying for everyone else, put me on the list too.

dUSt Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Don't let anyone get you down Just. The devil may be trying to mess things up, but God's plans for you are more powerful than that. We got lots of work to do--this battle is just beginning.
cmotherofpirl Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 This is the holiest week of the year and the devil's busiest as well. You just have to keep trying and praying.
theculturewarrior Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 The Litany of Humility is a good prayer for anybody who is lacking the same. Beware though...God will answer!

From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being loved, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being extolled, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being honored, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being praised, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being preferred to others, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being consulted, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the desire of being approved, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being humiliated, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being despised, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of suffering rebukes, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being calumniated, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being forgotten, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being ridiculed, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being wronged, Deliver me, O Jesus. From the fear of being suspected, Deliver me, O 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 go 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.[/quote]
DojoGrant Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 That litany is amazing. I just posted it on my website. Thanks so much for that.

theculturewarrior Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 [quote]got any more prayer links? [/quote] I highly recommend Scepter Pubs, "Handbook of Prayers," by Fr. Socias. It is an Opus Dei publication, but regardless of what you may think of Opus Dei, Fr. Socias is a man of God, and he knows how to whip up an excellent prayer book. I also have his "Daily Roman Missal," and use it alot. Both have a section on prayers after mass, (which include the above litany), that are simply awesome!

[/quote] Remember, all, that it is not one of the litanies that has been sanctioned for liturgical purposes, such as the Loretto, Holy Name, and Sacred Heard Litanies. Fewer people are aware of the Litany of the Holy Name. It too is awesome. Edited April 7, 2004 by theculturewarrior
DojoGrant Posted April 7, 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Well, since my website isn't a Church (just a blog), I think it'll be okay. I've prayed the Litany of the Holy Name before. It is great, I agree. I'm just big humility.

Seriously, if anyone thinks that they are a fringe group in The Church, take a look at what they believe. They are so down the center of Church teaching it's incredible. Great place to look up works of the founder of Opus Dei: [url="http://www.escrivaworks.org"]http://www.escrivaworks.org[/url] The Way is a wonderful book to meditate on. My personal favorite is #307: [url="http://www.escrivaworks.org/book/the_way/point/307"]http://www.escrivaworks.org/book/the_way/point/307[/url]
