Mother Teresa’s Prayer

Deliver me O Jesus, deliver me O Jesus, from the desire of being loved.

Deliver me O Jesus from the desire of being extolled.

Deliver me O Jesus from the desire of being honored, from the desire of being praised and being preferred.

Deliver me O Jesus from the desire of being consulted.

Deliver me O Jesus from the desire of being approved and popular.

Deliver me O Jesus from the fear of being humiliated, from the fear of being despised, from the fear of suffering rebukes.

Deliver me O Jesus from the fear of being stereotyped, from the fear of being forgotten, and the fear of being wronged.

Deliver me O Jesus from the fear of being ridiculed and suspected.
