The Litany of the Saints

The Litany of the Saints is usually recited on All Saints Day, but it is an excellent prayer at those times during which we need special guidance or graces.

Like all litanies, it is designed to be recited communally, but it can be prayed alone.

mary and saints prayer

O God come to my assistance. O Lord make haste to help me.

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever unto ages of ages.

Amen.

I have sinned, O Lord,
remit our sins and save us.
Hear us, O Thou Who didst guide Noah
upon the waves of the Flood,
and didst recall Jonah
from the abyss by Thy Word;
free me.

O Thou Who didst offer a hand to Peter
as he was sinking;
bear me up, O Christ, Son of God.
Thou didst perform wonders
among our fathers, O Lord:
stretch forth Thy hand
from on high to answer my necessities.
Free us, O Christ.
