From the desire of being praised                        Deliver me Jesus.
From the desire for being preferred to others        Deliver me Jesus.
From the desire of being consulted                     Deliver me Jesus.
From the desire of being approved                      Deliver me Jesus.
From the fear of being humiliated                     Deliver me Jesus.
From the fear of being despised                         Deliver me Jesus.
From the fear of suffering rebukes                      Deliver me Jesus.

That others may be loved more than I Jesus grant me the grace to desire it.
That other may be esteemed more than I                                             *R
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase, and I may decrease *R
That other may be chosen and I set aside                                           *R
That others may be preferred to me in everything                                *R
That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should.                                                                            *R Amen
