- Prayers for
- humility, a pure intention
Noël Bellemare, King David in Prayer, leaf from a book of hours, about 1530–35. Cleveland Museum of Art.
A particular examen should be daily made on such points as the following:—
-
Whether we said anything in our own praise?
-
Took pleasure in being praised?
-
Did anything merely to gain applause from creatures?
-
Neglected to direct our intention to God in our chief actions?
-
Excused ourselves when in fault?
-
Indulged self-complacency, or self-contemplation when we are going on well?
-
Do we look on ourselves as inferior to all?
-
Do we bear quietly all occasions of humiliation which may be offered to us? do we bear them without repugnance, or are we so perfect as to receive them with joy?
-
Do we take pains to make so many interior or exterior acts of humility every day?
