Litany of Humility

  • O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me. From the desire of being esteemed, Deliver me, Jesus. 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 to others... 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. 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… Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val (1865-1930), Secretary of State for Pope Saint Pius X

Some of the big day

So many of you have asked for news and photos of Megan and Andrew's wedding.  The wedding truly was an awesome, glorious event!  I'm still feeling that awe and wonder of all the blessings we experienced that day!  My thoughts and memories are many ... That goes for photos too!  There are so many and we have a lot of gathering to do.  We (my family) have all agreed to wait and post pictures of the bride and groom after they return from their honeymoon.  Here are a few to share.
