Let’s make it three-for-three on the topic of prayer for this week.  On Wednesday I shared about about “The Grain of Prayer” from Fred Sanders.  Yesterday’s post shared the “longer version” of the Serenity Prayer.  Today’s post is about a prayer that I first discovered as a song.

This summer I spent a few days in a (mostly) silent retreat at an abbey in Oklahoma.  In the one actual conversation I had there, a fellow guest told me about “the Litany of Humility,” a wonderfully constructed prayer that inspires humility even in the reading.  You can read the whole thing here.

As soon as the fellow guest mentioned the content of the prayer, my memory turned to a song recorded by one of the Franciscan Friars.  It’s a great rendition of the prayer, which you can listen to a read below.

Speaking of the summer stay at the abbey: I could go four-for-four on prayer this week, but I’m still reflecting on the time at the abbey and the prayer I wanted to guide my time there.
