    That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease,
    That others may be chosen and I set aside,
    That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
    That others may be preferred to me in everything,
    That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should,
    O Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like unto Thine!
