O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, teach me. From all pride and its effects, deliver me, Jesus. From coveting greatness for its own sake or to excess, etc. From contempt for God and His law, From a puffed-up self-image, From claiming to be a self-made man, From ingratitude for Gods gifts, From thinking that I earned Gods gifts by my effort alone, From boasting of having what I do not have, From excusing my faults while judging others, From wishing to be the sole possessor of the skills I have, From setting myself before others, From all vainglory, deliver me, Jesus. From craving praise for its own sake, etc. From looking for flattery, From withholding glory from God, From showing off to the harm of my neighbor, From presumption and false self-confidence, From boastfulness, From hypocrisy, From the excessive need to be fashionable, From obstinacy and contention, From unwarranted disobedience, From all false humility, deliver me, Jesus. From forfeiting my dignity as a child of God, etc. From burying my God-given talents,
From an unreasonable fear of failure,
From avoiding my true vocation, From despair at my weakness, In the ways of humility, teach me, Jesus. To know my limits and my strengths, etc. To acknowledge the depravity of my past sins, To acclaim You as the author of all the good I do, To put my confidence in God, To be subject to God and Your Church, To be subject to others for Your sake, To revere Your presence in others, To rejoice in Your gifts in others, even the unseen, To do great things by Your help and for Your glory, strengthen me, Jesus. To seek greatness in heavenly things and earthly things, etc. To do my best even when unnoticed, To put my share of Gods gifts at Your service, To be neither puffed up by honor nor downcast by shame, To do penance for my sins and those of others, Above all, to strive to love God with all my being, And to love my neighbor as myself, In Your name, I pray. Amen.
