Glorious God of power and majesty, you bow down to hear our every sigh;
deliver us from arrogance and empty vanities. Prevent us from trying to
raise ourselves by lowering the position of others. Cast down our pride
that we may grow in humility. Take away the barriers of self-defense;
grant us the firm security that comes from trust in you and is built with
neighborly cooperation and mutual respect. Lead us in the lowly steps of
Jesus until we attain the end of a pure joy and eternal victory, through
Christ, our servant and sovereign. Amen.†
