no. 38: litanies
I think my first introduction into Litanies was in high school. I can’t remember the first time, but I have grown in my appreciation of them in the last few years. I was once praying the rosary with a friend and she was leading and did the Litany to the Blessed Virgin Mary at the end.
I’ve also had a tenuous relationship with the Litany of Humility over the course of a few years. I know I need humility, but I dislike asking for it because it can be painful to really practice that virtue!
The Marian Consecration of St. Louis de Montfort preparation prayers also includes a few litanies … long ones too!
I was most recently introduced to this Litany of Trust from the Sisters of Life. I have found it to be just what I’ve needed lately.
Lastly, I’ve been praying this Litany for the Church in Crisis by my online friend Laura every day at 2:57pm. Praying that on the 1st day of the #sackclothandashes 40 days was the impetus for embarking on this 40 day time of reflection.

I’m so glad you found my litany beneficial! Thanks for sharing it. I can’t remember when I first prayed one, but have really been finding the Litany of Trust impactful lately too.
