humility – Longing For Water

2023.07.09: meek

hidden from the learn’d  
drawing goodness from the world 
small deeds with great love

2019.09.01: belonging

happy are the ones
who know their places in life
they find who they are

2015.05.22: more than these

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter,* “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” – Jn 21:15

What are these that I love more than my Lord?
Shed the light on me that I may see
Reveal the truth to me that I may repent
Show me wisdom that I may understand
Grant me humility that I may accept
Give me courage to change
Lord, I want to know these now
rather than at the hour of my death
I want to love you more than these

2015.03.04: humility prayer

Jesus said in reply, “You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup that I am going to drink?” – Mt 20:22

Lord Jesus, grant that I may have:
the humility not to covet a cup
not mine; the courage
to drink the cup
before
me;
and
the
wisdom
to know the difference.
