There are three little icons to the right just under the screen that allows you to adjust the volume, the screen size (making it full screen), and an icon which lets you choose to play the video in HD (highly recommended)... the HD option only appears "after" you start the video. You may want to pause the video then and let it completely load (pink/red bar fills completely to the right) before hitting the play button again. Experiment with the settings to find what you prefer. *****************************************************

Litany of Humility

"O Jesus meek and humble of heart, Hear me.

From the desire of being esteemed,
From the desire of being loved,
From the desire of being extolled,
From the desire of being honored,
From the desire of being praised,
From the desire of being preferred to others,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,

Deliver me, Jesus.

From the fear of being humiliated,
From the fear of being despised,
From the fear of suffering rebukes,
From the fear of being calumniated,
From the fear of being forgotten,
From the fear of being ridiculed,
From the fear of being wronged,
From the fear of being suspected,

Deliver me, Jesus.

That others may be loved more than I,
That others may be esteemed more than I,
That in the opinion of the world, others may increase, and I may decrease,
That others may be chosen and I set aside,
That others may be praised and I unnoticed,
That others may be preferred to me in everything,
That others may become holier than I,
provided that I become as holy as I should,
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it.
Amen."

- Cardinal Merry del Val
