From the fear of injury,
From the fear of suspicion,
Deliver me, Jesus.
That others may be loved more than myself. Jesus grant this desire.
That others may be more highly esteemed.
That others may grow and increase in honor, and I decrease. Jesus, grant me to desire it.
That others may be employed, and I set aside. Jesus, grant me to desire this.
That others may attract the praise, and myself be forgotten.
That others may be preferred in all.
Grant me the utmost holiness of which I am capable, then let others be holier than myself. Jesus, grant me to desire it!
