Invocation to the Divine Attribute of Humility

Our Lord, 
make me small and insignificant.

May my person not take vainglory in anything;
may my heart be a bridge towards Your holy Peace.

Lord, make me helpful and good,
kind and merciful to others.

May my consciousness always receive 
the necessary corrections from life;
may my human heart never close;
may I learn to thank 
all lessons and experiences.

May I do everything for You, Lord, 
and nothing for me, nor for my own imperfect will.

Teach me to empty myself.

Teach me, in humility, to recognize You
alive and present in the Communion,
in the consecration of life,
in each one of the vows
that I have proposed to take for You.

Lord,
destroy my pride,
dissolve my arrogance
and heal me from spiritual negligence.

May I learn to protect, from myself,
Your majestic Work;
may I no longer be a thorn in Your meek Heart,
but rather a flower at the foot of Your sacred Altar.

Lord, 
light me in Your Humility,
vivify me in the constant void
and redeem me all the time
in the loving fire of Your Heart
so that, at least the smallest portion of my life may be 
the testimony of Your Love and of Your Divine Will on Earth.

Amen.

Who blesses you,

Your Master and Lord, Christ Jesus
