Humility.

A good read: Heart Of Humility

A good prayer: Litany of Humility

Yes, I've experienced this, too. Hypocrites! All around me!

And then I'm reminded of [Matthew 7:5].

Personally, it's a call for greater humility on my part. Humility of Heart is an eye-opening read on this virtue.

Since it's Lent, it's also a good time to reexamine prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. In whatever area I'm lacking, I need to focus on. For me, this Lent, it's been fasting and almsgiving.

Yes, one of my favorite continuous prayers is: "Jesus, meek and humble of heart, make my heart like Yours". It is such a struggle. If you are a reader then I highly recommend Humility of Heart.

I think the book recommendations are solid throughout, so I'll go a slightly different route, though I will still make a book recommendation or two.

First, the book I recommend is Song of Songs. You'll need to read it as the Church reads it, which is prayerfully and mystically. The Church Fathers and the saints offer the best commentary. Dominican priest Juan Gonzalez Arintero's Song of Songs utilizes the tradition; it's hard to find and expensive, but I found a copy in my Church's library. I recommend the Song because it is the book that delves into the inner relationship of Christ and His bride, the Catholic Church; and that relationship is the model between husband and wife.

If you haven't selected the readings for your wedding, do so and use them as aids to meditate and pray.

According to the Catechism, the Sacrament of Matrimony is a Sacrament of Service. Find ways to serve others as a couple as well as individually. You may already be doing something like this through the four pillars of Dominican life, but now is the time to deepen that service. Personal sacrifice, which the world calls compromise, is learned through the sacrament of matrimony.

And, well ... one more book recommendation, I hope you won't mind: Fr Catejan Mary da Bergamo's Humility of Heart. Not about matrimony per se, but humility is the yoke in matrimony.

Moar rosary!

But really though, if you read the Secret of the Rosary by St. Louis De Montfort, what he recommends is to, when you begin meditating on a mystery, take some time to mediate on what that mystery is and ask the Holy Spirit to help you focus on <insert virtue> as exhibited by Our Lord and or Our Lady in the mystery. (or, ask the Holy Spirit to help you focus on the virtue you most need). Additionally, he says make sure you have an intention when you pray the rosary. A good intention is for an increase in virtue. Grab a copy of the Secret of the Rosary, read up, and then arm yourself with this spiritual sword and prepare for battle! https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rosary-St-Louis-Monfort/dp/0895550563

Don't feel bad if you begin not finishing one every day. Do your best each day, even if it is just one decade. There is still fruit there. Prayer is like a muscle, keep exercising it and you will be able to pray more.

I also recommend, for humility specifically, reading Humility of Heart by Fr. Cajetan Mary Da Bergamo. https://www.amazon.com/Humility-Heart-Cajetan-Mary-Bergamo/dp/0895557665/
