Litanies of the Roman Catholic Church
from various sources
(Latin litania, letania,
from Greek lite,
Prayer
or Supplication)
A Litany is a well-known and
much appreciated form of Responsive Petition, used in Public Liturgical
Services, and in Private Devotions, for Common Necessities of the Church,
or in Calamities — to implore
God's Aid or to appease His Just
Wrath. This Form of
Prayer finds
its Model in Psalm 135:

good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
135:2. Praise ye the God of gods: for
his mercy endureth for ever.
135:3. Praise ye the Lord of lords: for
his mercy endureth for ever.
135:4. Who alone doth great wonders: for
his mercy endureth for ever.
135:5. Who made the heavens in understanding: for his mercy endureth for ever.

135:7. Who made the great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever.

mercy endureth for ever.
