I will bow down toward Your holy temple and will praise Your name for Your love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted above all things Your name and Your word.
Psalm 138:2
Deliver me, oh 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
From the desire of being consulted
From the desire of being approved
From the desire of being popular
From the fear of being humiliated
From the fear of being despised
From the fear of suffering rebukes
From the fear of being calumniated (maligned)
From the fear of being forgotten
From the fear of being ridiculed
From the fear of being suspected
~ Mother Teresa
