Lord Jesus, the anointed one, who humbled yourself to take on our mortal nature, grant us grace to humble ourselves as well, that we might not seek to exalt ourselves but look to how we might serve the needs of one another and so imitate our beloved teacher, through you who abides in joy forever with the Father and Holy Spirit in heaven. Amen.
‘The greatest among you will be your servant. All who exalt themselves will be humbled, and all who humble themselves will be exalted.’ – Matthew 23:11-12
