Litany of All Saints

Litany of the Saints

The Litany of the Saints is one of the oldest prayers in the Catholic tradition, often used in solemn liturgical celebrations such as baptisms, ordinations, and the Easter Vigil. It calls upon God, the Holy Trinity, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and a host of saints to intercede for the faithful, seeking mercy, protection, and guidance from various evils and trials.
