Dear Friend,
Thank you for this “Litany of Humility”. I’m not sure who the author was. I would need to research it, but I think it was either Cardinal Mercier or another holy priest in the early 1900’s or late 1800’s. Today is the First Sunday of Advent and a perfect time for all of us to examine ourselves on the practice of Humility.
If anyone reading this thread has also been following the threads on Preparation for Consecration to Jesus through Mary, this week is dedicated to seeking a deeper understanding of Mary. Who better than she learned from Jesus to be Meek and Humble of Heart? If anyone is interested in this Consecration, you can go to my profile page, click on statistics and search all the threads I’ve begun on this. It is never too late to begin to prepare for the Consecration we hope to make on Dec. 8, Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
Thanks again for all the prayers offered for our Returning Catholics, we’ve passed the “half-way” point in the 6 week series. Session #4 is this Tuesday night. Please keep those prayers coming. There is one person who keeps “promising to come” but has not made a meeting yet. Please help with your prayers, offered in faith, hope and above all charity.

Greetings MariaChristi,
I believe it was Cardinal Merry de Val. I think he served on of the popes in some capacity.
My spiritual director said if we could pray and our lives reflected this prayer we would be perfectly at peace and have no afflictions.
We are still going through the Consecration. Thanksgiving Holidays put that to a temporary stop but we are planning to resume on Monday. Becuase of the business of my schedule and that I did not want to rush through this Consecration, I and my spiritual director will be making the Consecration on December 25.
I will continue my prayers. Thank you for the updates.
God Bless You All,
Anathama Sit

Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kindgom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliever us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be world without end. Amen.

Dear Friend,
Yes, Cardinal Merry de Val wrote the Litany of Humility. I did not have time yesterday to research it, but as soon as I read your post, I remembered that it was he. Thanks.
Christmas Day is also a wonderful Feast on which to offer your Act of Consecration. I’m happy to read that you and your Spiritual Director are not trying to “rush” through anything.
Thanks again for your faithful prayers for our Returning Catholics, and I thank any others who may be praying with us. Tomorrow evening one of our Deacons will be presenting a talk on the Sacrament of Reconciliation to the group, which is very important. Our Parish is also having a Penitential Service this coming Thursday during which several priests will be available to hear Confessions. Please continue to pray for those who have been away from this sacrament for a long time. Thanks so much.

Greetings MariaChristi,
Things may look like we may do it on January 01, 2012. There’s just too much going on. Yeah we don’t want to rush it. My spiritual director says that the Consecration can be made at any time and to feel no pressure to get it done by any date. So I am relieved and feel better.
I shall pray for the deacon to be inspired by the Holy Spirit. I hope and pray that they will go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, for it is this Sacrament that will open the way to the greatest Sacrament of all, Holy Eucharist.
God Bless.

Dear Friend,
January 1 is the Feast of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and so another beautiful Feast on which to consecrate oneself. Absolutely, we do not want to “rush” anything so sacred, nor do we want to be pressured. We want to remain always in His Love and Peace – just like Mary!
Thanks again for your prayers for our “Returning Catholics”, and especially for our Deacon who will be speaking tonight. Yes, I pray their hearts will be truly open to God’s Grace and they will receive this beautiful Sacrament soon, so to come into union with Jesus and His Church in Eucharist.

I prayed for you this night. I am hoping that the Deacon did well and that God spoke through the deacon. I am prayed that it would go well. I am looking forward to the update.
God Bless.

Dear Friend,
Our Deacon has a good heart and his presentation came across very sincere and effective. I think all of those present are planning either to participate in the Parish’s Penace Service tomorrow night or make an appointment with the pastor to make their confession, soon. Your prayers have been a big help to all, I’m sure. One of the persons who has not been able to attend since the first meeting told me she went to confession – she did not want to be away from Eucharist any longer. How heaven rejoices over one sinner who returns!
Thanks again to you for your faithful prayers, and for all who have read this thread and have been praying with us. Please keep those prayers coming! Thanks.

I was an inactive Catholic for several years who heard God’s calling to come home to the Church. Best of luck with your series and I pray that those who are away from the Church will hear God’s calling much the way I did.

I am so glad to hear that things went well. I am so glad that one of the people went to Confession. I shall be praying that the others too will go to Confession.
I am so glad that this has gone so well for you guys.
Are you guys thinking of doing this again? like maybe Lent?
God Bless.

Dear Friend,
Actually, three have gone to Confession. Two more have told me they are contacting the pastor for appointments to make their Confessions. So only two left of the original 7 in the group have not told me if they have gone or are planning to go to Confession. Let us please continue to pray for all those, all over the world, who are considering their return “home” to the practice of their Catholic Faith.
Yes, we plan to do another 6 weeks series sometime during Lent. We need to meet as a “team” and consider dates, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses we may have perceived in this series we are completing on Dec. 13. Our last 2 sessions will be on the Mass. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Thanks.
Did I mention that we have included a petition in the Sunday Masses during the 6 weeks of the series, specifically praying for “Returning Catholics”? Prayer is essential. Without the Lord, we can do nothing, (cf. John 15).

Greetings MariaChristi,
I shall pray this intention everyday by God’s grace.
I shall pray for the other two who have yet to go to Confession. I am glad to hear you guys are going to do this for Lent.
I think this program should be adopted by every parish.
God Bless.
