Rosary of Humility
Our Father
Let each of
you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of
others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who,
though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a
thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of
a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found
in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of
death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted
him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under
the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father. (Pl 2:4-11) Hail Mary
But he gives
more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace
to the humble.” (Js 4:6) Hail Mary
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he
who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Lk 14:11) Hail Mary
The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches
and honor and life. (Pv 22:4) Hail Mary
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the
elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another,
for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” Humble
yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time
he may exalt you. (1 Pet 5:5,6) Hail Mary
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles
himself will be exalted. (Mt 23:12) Hail Mary
For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among
you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to
think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith
that God has assigned. (Rm 12:3) Hail Mary
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you. (Js
4:10) Hail Mary
I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you
to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been
called, with all humility and gentleness,
with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain
the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. (Ep 4:1-3) Hail Mary
Before destruction a man's heart is haughty, but humility
comes before honor. (Pv 18:12) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
He must increase,
but I must decrease. (Jn 3:30) Hail Mary
If my people who
are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and
turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive
their sin and heal their land. (2 Ch 7:14) Hail Mary
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my
weakness. (2 Cn 11:30) Hail Mary
The Lord lifts up the humble; he casts the
wicked to the ground. (Ps 147:6) Hail Mary
One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in
spirit will obtain honor. (Pv 29:23) Hail Mary
For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who
inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy
place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to
revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. (Isa
57:15) Hail Mary
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but
in humility count others more significant than yourselves. (Pl 2:3) Hail
Mary
He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble
his way. (Ps 25:9) Hail Mary
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty,
but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. (Rm
12:16) Hail Mary
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I
am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Mt
11:29) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
All these things my
hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this
is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and
trembles at my word. (Isa 66:2) Hail Mary
And they came
to Capernaum. And when he was in the house he asked them, “What were
you discussing on the way?” But they kept silent, for on the way they had
argued with one another about who was the greatest. And he sat down and called
the twelve. And he said to them, “If anyone would be first, he must be last
of all and servant of all.” And he took a child and put him in the midst of them,
and taking him in his arms, he said to them, “Whoever receives one such
child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but
him who sent me.” (Mk 9:33-37) Hail Mary
Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good
conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. (Js 3:13) Hail
Mary
On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I
will not boast, except of my weaknesses— though if I should wish to
boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth; but I
refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or
hears from me. So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the
surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the
flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming
conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave
me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power
is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly
of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For
the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults,
hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am
strong. I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been
commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these
super-apostles, even though I am nothing. The signs of a true apostle were
performed among you with utmost patience, with signs and wonders and
mighty works. (2 Cn 12:5-12) Hail Mary
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns
the humble with salvation. (Ps 149:4) Hail Mary
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or
boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not
insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not
rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. (1 Cn 13:4) Hail
Mary
King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and
languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you! It
has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most
High God has done for me. How great are his signs, how mighty
his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion
endures from generation to generation. (Dn 4:1-3) Hail Mary
I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In
any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty
and hunger, abundance and need. (Pl 4:12) Hail Mary
Regarding the words that you have heard, because your heart
was tender and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against
this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before me and
have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares
the Lord. (2 Ch 34:26,27) Hail Mary
He also told this parable to some who trusted in
themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two
men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax
collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed
thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a
week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax
collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to
heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a
sinner!’ (Lk 18:9-13) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
Love one another
with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. (Rm 12:10) Hail
Mary
It is better to be
of a lowly spirit with the poor than to divide the spoil with the
proud. (Pv 16:19) Hail Mary
Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to
utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth.
Therefore let your words be few. (Ecc 5:2) Hail Mary
But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest
place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up
higher.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with
you. (Lk 14:10) Hail Mary
And we know that for those who love God all things work
together for good, for those who are called according to
his purpose. (Rm 8:28) Hail Mary
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified,
rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled,
but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” (Lk 18:14) Hail Mary
And do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them
not, for behold, I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares
the Lord. But I will give you your life as a prize of war in all
places to which you may go.” (Jer 45:5) Hail Mary
Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do
his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may
be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord. (Zep 2:3) Hail Mary
And you shall remember the whole way that
the Lord your God has led you these forty years in the
wilderness, that he might humble you, testing you to know what was in
your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not. And he humbled
you and let you hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not
know, nor did your fathers know, that he might make you know that man does
not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from
the mouth of the Lord. (Deut 8:2,3) Hail Mary
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the
surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have
suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may
gain Christ. (Pl 3:8) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
Let us not become
conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. (Gal 5:26) Hail Mary
He has shown
strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their
hearts; he has brought down the mighty from their
thrones and exalted those of humble estate; he has filled the hungry
with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. (Lk 1:51-53) Hail
Mary
Now when Jesus was at Bethany in the house of Simon the
leper, a woman came up to him with an alabaster flask of very
expensive ointment, and she poured it on his head as he reclined at table. And
when the disciples saw it, they were indignant, saying, “Why this waste? For
this could have been sold for a large sum and given to the poor.” But Jesus,
aware of this, said to them, “Why do you trouble the woman? For she has
done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you,
but you will not always have me. In pouring this ointment on my body, she
has done it to prepare me for burial. Truly, I say to you,
wherever this gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done
will also be told in memory of her.” (Mt 26:6-13) Hail Mary
If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your
feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an
example, that you also should do just as I have done to you. Truly, truly,
I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is
a messenger greater than the one who sent him. (Jn 13:14-16) Hail Mary
Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who
were on the face of the earth. (Num 12:3) Hail Mary
For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be
called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. (1 Cn 15:9) Hail
Mary
A dispute also arose among them, as to which of them was to
be regarded as the greatest. And he said to them, “The kings of the
Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are
called benefactors. But not so with you. Rather, let the greatest among
you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves. For
who is the greater, one who reclines at table or one who serves? Is it not
the one who reclines at table? But I am among you as the one who serves. (Lk
22:24-27) Hail Mary
The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride
and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. (Pv 8:13) Hail
Mary
And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and
said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like
children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles
himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (Mt
18:2-4) Hail Mary
The sacrifices of
God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not
despise. (Ps 51:17) Hail Mary
Glory be
