a call to humility

Lord Jesus, when you walked the earth,

Your humility obscured your Kingship.

Your meekness confused the arrogant,

Hindering them from grasping your purpose,

Your nobleness attending to the destitute.

Teach me to model after your eminence,

To subject my human nature to humility.

Grant me with a natural inclination

To never view myself greater than anyone.

Banish all lingering sparks of self-importance

That could elevate me greater than you.

Let my heart always imitate your humility.

Amen
