Lord Jesus, who emptied yourself for our sake, grant us the courage and delight to humble ourselves, so that we might be elevated at the appropriate time and, in the meantime, learn to love others well, through you who was raised to the right hand of the Father in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
‘He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.”‘ – Mark 9:35
