2020 Appeal Prayer
Heavenly Father, Lord of all creation, we your children bless and praise your holy name. In all the world your love is reflected and we, your disciples, seek to discover your presence and listen to your voice. As we hear you invite us to love, to serve and to lead in Your name, help us be good stewards of your many gifts. Help us to be hands that reach out to others as You did. Help us to stop and remember we do what we do in Your name. Help us to be
authentic disciples, planting seeds of faith wherever we go. May all the world hear Your voice calling all to Love as You Love by the living of our lives. In our response to our sisters and brothers in the Diocese of Rockford, grant us grateful hearts and give us the courage to share our many gifts of time, talent and financial treasure with all those who are in need. We ask all this through Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
Written by: Rev. Richard Rosinski, Pastor St. Mary Parish, Byron
THE LITANY OF HUMILITY
The litany of humility, for private devotions, is a moving prayer that can bring us closer to Christ. Do you worry constantly about what others think of you? Do you feel empty or frustrated if you’re not the center of attention? The litany of humility asks for our Lord’s assistance in humbly following in His footsteps and casting aside, or at least offering up to Him, all those nagging doubts and fears that come with our self-centeredness. Our Lord asks us in Matthew’s gospel to learn from Him “for I am meek and humble of heart” (Matt 11:29), as he is described in the first line of this prayer below. We ask in this litany, composed by Rafael Cardinal Merry de Val (1865-1930), the Secretary of State for Pope Saint Pius X, that God fill our hearts and souls with genuine humility, an essential virtue for holiness. After all, as we read in the letter of St. James “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6).
Pray with your family today and everyday! When the litany of humility is prayed in a private setting by two or more people, the lines given in italics below are the responses to a leader.
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus. Repeat after each line From the desire of being loved, From the desire of being extolled, From the desire of being honored, From the desire of being praised, From the desire of being preferred From the desire of being consulted, From the desire of being approved, From the fear of being humiliated, From the fear of being despised, From the fear of suffering rebukes, From the fear of being calumniated, From the fear of being forgotten, From the fear of being ridiculed, From the fear of being wronged, From the fear of being suspected, That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. (repeat after each line) That others may be esteemed more than I , That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease, That others may be chosen and I set aside, That others may be praised and I unnoticed, That others may be preferred to me in everything, That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should...Amen
The last petition of the litany of humility powerfully suggests what holiness entails: loving God and neighbor above all else, putting others' needs before ours. We are not to worry how we “rank” in godliness. Otherwise we might as well be like the Pharisees our Lord scorned who took more delight in the trappings of religion, rather than in love of God and neighbor, so that “all their works they do in order to be seen” (Matt 23:5).In seeking God’s help to cast out our sins of pride we are in tune with our Lord’s famous Gospel message “He who exalts himself will be humbled and he who humbles himself will be exalted” (Matt 23:12).
