The Litany Of The Blessed Virgin Mary





 My May Altar to Our Lady.

We ought to pray The Litany to Her every day for  an end to the pandemic.  
                                                               

Lord, have mercy on us.             Christ, have mercy on us. 
Lord, have mercy on us. 
Christ hear us.                             Christ, graciously hear us.
God, the Father of heaven,         Have mercy on us. 
God, the Son, 

Redeemer of the world:              Have mercy on us. 
God, the Holy Ghost,                  Have mercy on us.  

Holy Trinity, One God,               Have mercy on us. 
 
Holy Mary,      pray for us. (repeat at end of each phrase.)

V. Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. 

Let us pray:
Grant, O Lord God, we beseech Thee, that we Thy servants may rejoice in continual health of mind and body; and, through the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary ever Virgin, may be freed from present sorrow, and enjoy eternal gladness. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

It is good, and comforting to remember when praying the Litany to the Blessed Virgin Mary, that, as St. Bernard once put it “Mary has made herself all to all, and opens her merciful heart to all, that all may receive of her fullness: the sick, health; those in affliction, comfort; the sinner, pardon, and God, glory.”
