New Year thoughts

[Guest guest]

Friends,

As another new calender year dawns in a day, I share

these thoughts of Mother Teresa :

 

Deliver me, O Jesus

 

From the desire of being loved,

From the desire of being extolled,

From the desire of being honoured,

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 of being humiliated,

From the fear of being despised,

From the fear of suffering rebukes,

From the fear of being slandered,

From the fear of being forgotten,

from the fear of being wronged,

From the fear of being ridiculed,

From the fear of being suspected.

 

And, Jesus, grant me the grace

to desire that others might be loved more than I,

That others might be more esteemed than I,

That in the opinion of the world,

others may increase and I decrease,

That others may be chosen and I set aside,

That others may be preferred to me in everything,

That others may become holier than I,

provided I become as holy as I should.

 

(Mother Theresa, A Simple Path.)
