It's weird. I have nothing yet I feel like I am full. It could just be a feeling but just the mere feeling gives me a different perspective. I am seeing the glass not half-empty nor half-full. Definitely full, although really empty when up-close.
There's a fine line between reality and hallucination. I call it faith and no one should question me.
I have nothing but let me give something. Anything. Empty me if that would mean feeling every drop of blessing that You fill my glass up. Then humble me.
Today, I find less words to describe how I am feeling, so I share to you my prayer. The Litany of Humility. The one that I have been keeping. The one that I have been praying. I am but human. Humble me. Humble me some more...
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…
