Litany of the Saints - Prayer to Holy Trinity and Entire Heaven Hosts:


The Litany of the Saints (Latin: Litaniae Sanctorum) is a prayer to the Holy Trinity, which also includes invocations for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Angels and all the martyrs and saints upon whom Christianity was founded, and those recognised as saints through the subsequent history of the church. Following the invocation of the saints, the Litany concludes with a series of supplications to God to hear the prayers of the worshippers. It is most prominently sung during the Easter Vigil, All Saints' Day, and in the liturgy for conferring Holy Orders, the Consecration of a Virgin and reception of the perpetual vows of a religious or a diocesane hermit.

The Litany of the Saints is one of six “Public” litanies of the Church which may be used in the liturgy according to the approved forms published in the liturgical books. The following is a traditional version of the Litany. In private devotion, the names of patron and other favorite saints may be added in the appropriate place.

The litany is published in five sections. The first contains a short series of invocations of God, beginning with a threefold Kyrie, followed by invocations of God the Father of Heaven, the Son who redeemed the world, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Trinity.

The second section lists the saints who are to be included, given in the following order. Additional saints, such as the patron of a place or the founder of a religious order, may be inserted in the appropriate place.
