My 24 Hours of Fame

Michelle the Magnificent Malkin actually linked to my blog publicly a couple of days ago, referencing this post.

I actually got several trackbacks from it and I moved up a couple of levels in the Ecosystem. I was very excited and very happy!

However, life is returning to normal and I'm sure I'll devolve again back to my appropriate level.

To help me along, comes this Litany of Blog Humility(hey, I am Roman Catholic, after all!), courtesy of the Curt Jester, by way of The Happy Catholic:

The Litany of Blog Humility

From the desire of my blog being read
Deliver me dear Jesus

From the desire of my blog being praised
Deliver me dear Jesus

From the fear of my blog being despised
Deliver me dear Jesus

From the fear of my blog being forgotten
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

From the fear of no page views
Deliver me dear Jesus

That other blogs may be loved more than mine
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

That Nihil Obstat may find all my grammatical and spelling errors
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

That Google may never list my blog
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

That comments always be negative and abusive
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

That my commenting system always say "commenting temporarily unavailable"
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

That Mark Shea may notice every blog but mine
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it

That others may be pithier than I, provided that I may become as pithy as I should
Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it
