Book Description
A Prayerbook of Favorite Litanies will add a new dimension and heightened devotion to your daily prayer life. This traditional form of responsive prayer is modeled after the recitation of the Psalms. It is a well-known and beloved form of prayer for both public and private devotion. Included are Litanies to Honor God, Litanies to Our Lord, Eucharistic Litanies, Litanies to the Blessed Virgin Mary, Litanies to the Angels, the Saints, Litanies to St Joseph, as well as litanies for specific needs and petitions. "The word "litany" comes from the Latin "litania" or "letania". It stood for a form of responsive prayer which involved a number of invocations or petitions grouped around one main subject or sacred theme." - Fr Albert J Hebert, SJ
