A Daily Prayer

Deliver me, O God,
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,
From the desire of being consulted,
From the desire of being approved,
From the desire of being popular,
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 wronged,
From the fear of being suspected,
From the fear of being ridiculed.
Amen

~ Mother Theresa

I checked for the meaning of ‘calumniate’ in a dictionary. Calumniate means to charge falsely or with malicious intent; to attack the good name or reputation of someone.
