    I recently began praying the Litany of Humility. A few observations: 1) This prayer is a gut-punch! Seriously. “From the desire of being loved, deliver me, Jesus,” wow. 2) This prayer is revelatory. There are things in my life that I’d never imagined were manifestations of pride that I’m now asking Jesus to work out of me. Pride has to be one of the most insidious sins! I’m thankful that this prayer has brought my consciousness to these problems in my life, so I might be a better servant to Him, servant to my family, and servant to humanity. 3) This prayer not only will punch you in the gut, but it will get you attacked. Since pride is original sin, the devil has every motive in the world to keep you wallowing in it. Once you begin to pray this prayer in earnest and work on the things the Lord points out through it, the devil will set up all kinds of obstacles to cause you to trip in your efforts. Do not give in! Double-down! The work Jesus is doing in you is WORTH the work! Glory to God!

    I prayed to God for humility since I know pride is my weakness and the next day I was given a raise and made boss of a lot of people. I don't think it's a coincidence since God delights in paradoxes and ways to make us apply his teachings. I've definitely prayed more for humility since I feel like I need God's support more than before. I share this just in case people are afraid to pray the litany, God has wonderful ways of working.

      Leviticus 17 KJV 🩸
      11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.
      Romans 5 KJV ✝️🩸
      9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
      10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
      11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
      1 John 5 KJV
      13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

    Praying the litany has helped me a lot. The way I understand the prayer about asking for deliverance from the desire to be loved is I don’t want to desire it to the point of excessive obsession over it. I remember in my younger days wanting a relationship with a man so badly that it led me down some very wrong paths. If our desire to be loved is excessive, it can lead you down the wrong road. But a balanced desire to be loved and to be in a God-sent relationship is very healthy and not how I understand this line of the litany. I think along the lines of excess and balance.

    @WhiteWolfSpirit Месяц назад +6

    This explanation not only hits home but justifies why our love of God as our Father should be the motivator, not just doing things for some reward. I hope that makes sense via text. Because of trauma abuse and sin I developed a mechanism like what you’re describing here. I pray that’s not what I’m doing. I pray this prayer often and it’s not getting easier. I all but choke on that loved verse. I wanted nothing more in this world before I came back to Christ. To love and to be loved seems the reason we are here. I am
    Conflicted about that.

    ❤God! I wish I could be able to have you speak to my 16 year old son. You have such an incredible way with words. A gift from our lord. My boy is going through a lot of mental health issues and I pray the rosary every night for him. My boy loves our lord and does truly believe in him. But, as these times get harder for him, he can’t help but ask “why?”
    He watched my sister go through the pain of mental illness and she took her life. My son was very attached to her, and now he is in a similar situation.
    I ask our lord for help and our blessed mother to guide me. Wishing my son had someone who could help him through this.
    Please pray for him. His name is Charlie. Thank you for your wonderful videos and prayers. 🙏🏼❤

    I sincerely want to thank you, Fr. Mark-Mary. A lot of the things you said over the years here and on Poco a Poco podcast touched me deeply, something that I observed in my spiritual life but I couldn’t really put into words. There’s these nuances or “dangers” as you said, seeping into the spiritual life, especially in praying for and learning humility, mistaking pride masquerading as it as one. You have always touched on these subjects sensitively and I felt that you speak these things from a priestly heart, very dearly and with charity. Praying for you Father, love from INA 🇮🇩

    One thing I don't believe in is humankind, namely people. I look at all these comments and I am disgusted, perhaps even at myself. I've encountered several bigots in my ordeals in finding truth and reality. I just don't care how apparent your religion is. Please let God show himself unto man. It is the most important part about the religion is that Jesus Christ has been born and revealed into this world as the son of God. Yet blasphemy and hatred in an unholy world prevails to presume into the lives of the innocent. But thank you humble and meek men and delightful women for standing as our beacon of truth amongst the lies and fraud of this world. I love what brother Mary is saying about Jesus being our prime focus. Perhaps one day I could fulfill my focus and become a monk and live for Christ fully. This message resonates with everything that I am going through. Thank you brother Mary.

    I don't like the Litany of Humility because I was an unwanted child. It seemed everyone treated me like what Cardinal Merry De Val's prayer asks for, and I KNOW how heartbreaking, toxic, and hurtful it is to grow up without love. We are created to be loved, so when I pray the Litany of Humility every Friday, I add "inordinately" to the petition, "From the desire to be loved."

      While it does hurt very much to not receive love here on earth, I think the litany means that when you have the love of God filling you up, you are not to worry about all the persons loving you. They are His creations, while He is the *Creator! This is far superior. It is extremely hard and takes great Faith and Trust in all His promises. Our crosses here will be our trophies there.

      @@dailybread300 i hear you, however, if you have not received love here from humams, how do you recognize it from Christ? Keeping myself open, praying daily, looking for Christ in all people and things and genuinely loving humanity since childhood, as I believed scripture said I was to do. I dutifully acknowledged God's love for 65 years before I l, not sure the right word, but knew it to be true. Felt it to be true. Felt union with Christ in prayer. And I am a fortunate one, as I knew as a small child the reality of the Eucharist. Of course, we all want to be loved, but to Know, not just believe, but know, we are loved by God is crucial.

    3 minutes in. Thank you so much for this video. I know this will help many souls. I speak from experience that praying the litany of humility wrong can damage you. When I first started praying the litany I was praying it wrong, but didn't know that. I told one of my priests that it stung when I prayed it. So of course he told me to keep praying it as he thought it was the healthy sting of the Spirit. So I, who have scruples, took that as a command. I prayed it for about a year straight without speaking to another priest about it. Finally, when I opened up to another priest about how much it hurts me not feeling loved and feeling guilty for wanting to be loved he sat down and explained to me what was going on. It was essentially like this video. It was a very rough year for me hahaha
