The Litany of Blog Humility

This blog is one that has little to no hope of going viral, and its author is certain that Teresa would fully understand this litany.  Acknowledgements to the Curt Jester!

From the desire of my blog being read
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the desire of my blog being praised
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the fear of my blog being despised
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the fear of my blog being forgotten
Deliver me dear Jesus
From the fear of no page views
Deliver me dear Jesus
That other blogs may be loved more than mine
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That Nihil Obstat may find all my grammatical and spelling errors
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That Google may never list my blog
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That comments always be negative and abusive
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That my commenting system always say “commenting temporarily unavailable”
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
That others may be pithier than I, provided that I may become as pithy as I should
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

  1. Well, I have read some of your posts and I think it is a marvellous blog. Many thanks.

    Being a Southerner, I have never heard of Teresa Higginson and am very grateful to you for sharing the information. I have, however, been to Holywell and may do a blogpost about that on my own blog. I hope you won't mind if I add a link to your blog?

  2. By all means do so! And if anyone can give me information, stories and anecdotes about Teresa Higginson and her intercession I will certainly publish it.
