Prayer of Humility taught by Jesus
(Prayer taught by Jesus to Sister Benigna-Consolata, a Visitandine nun)
My God, my sovereign Love, my All, I, nothing of nothing, nothing good, nothing in virtue, nothing in fidelity, nothing in correspondence to Your graces, behold, from the deep abyss of my misery, I beseech You, by the abyss of Your mercy, to grant me the grace to be able to know You and to make You known, to love and to make others love, to serve and to make others serve, as perfectly as it is possible for a poor creature, and for Your greater glory.
- “I, says Jesus, protest to you that every time a soul pronounces this act with a true feeling of profound humility, it wounds My Heart with an arrow of gold and, from this wound, a torrent of graces overflows for the soul who is the author of it, and for the Holy Church. This is still the best preparation for Holy Communion, because God communicates Himself to the humble with greater abundance.”
