V. He made himself all to all.

R. Let us walk in his footsteps.

LET US PRAY.

JESUS, meek and humble of heart! since only humble souls can give glory to thy holy name, and the dwelling of thy glory will be for ever shut against me, unless I become truly humble: grant me humility, which alone can merit thy grace, and secure me a place in the eternal kingdom. Pardon me, O my God! the manifold sins, which I have committed through pride; and grant me a contempt for myself, proportioned to the pride which has so far enslaved me, but which I now detest so sincerely. I beg this favor through the intercession of our holy Father St. Vincent, who was truly meek and humble. Amen.

LITANY OF ST. PETER.
