This litany, attributed to Rafael Cardinal Merry del Val, a secretary of state for Pope Saint Pius X, is a powerful prayer for humility. It asks Jesus to deliver the person praying from desires and fears that are obstacles to true humility, and it petitions for the grace to rejoice in the advancement and success of others. It is often used in personal prayer for spiritual growth and humility.
