Two prayers against pride: (from http://prayerbook.com/Subjects/sevepray.htm#PRIDE)
O Lord
Jesus Christ, Pattern of humility, who didst empty Thyself of Thy glory, and
take upon the form of a servant: root out of us all pride and conceit of
heart, that, owing ourselves miserable and guilty sinners, we may willingly
bear contempt and reproaches for Thy sake, and glorying in nothing but Thee,
may esteem ourselves lowly in Thy sight. Not unto us, O Lord, but to Thy
name be the praise, for Thy loving mercy and for Thy truth's sake. Amen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
O Most
humble Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, true God and true Man, eternal
praise and thanksgiving be to Thee, because in Thy tenderest age, on the
eighth day of Thy mortal life, Thou didst vouchsafe to shed Thy precious
and innocent Blood for us, and as a true Son of Abraham to bear the pain
of Circumcision. By
this most holy shedding of Thy Blood, I beg of Thee, the grace of humility
against all pride and worldly vanity.
Our Father… Hall
Mary… Glory Be…
O Savior of
the world, who by Thy Cross and precious Blood hast redeemed us: save us, and
help us, we humbly beseech Thee, O Lord.
