PUBLISHER’S PREFACE
This book was conceived to be a prayerbook, rather than a book for scholarly purposes. Therefore, to serve as such, it must be used again and again so that one gains familiarity with the litanies and prayers it contains.
Litanies, as prayers, possess two peculiar aspects. First, a person must be familiar with the litany being prayed in order for it to be profoundly and powerfully recited. It must—as with any well-said vocal prayer—be completely known to its user and contain no surprises, for surprises distract a person from attention to his prayer. Therefore, one must recite a litany again and again for it to acquire this power within his prayer life.
And second, a litany, by the very variety of its expression, remains ever new. Whereas at first thought, one might judge the recitation of a litany to become quickly boring and flat, just the opposite is true. A litany ever reveals to the reciter new insights and new channels of devotion. Much like a many-faceted gem, a litany reflects its light—first from one angle, then from another—with an almost supernatural charm and freshness.
From these observations it is obvious that with time one should adopt favorite litanies, which he will then incorporate into his daily prayer. Litanies said as prayer bring a wonderful variety to one’s daily prayer routine and beautifully complement meditation, the Rosary and other vocal prayers.
Finally, the litanies in this book have been arranged for recitation by two or more persons, with the responses being in italics. It is strongly urged that this book be employed for group prayer, in addition to personal use. There is a litany here for just about every conceivable need or purpose.
May this beautiful book of litanies become a priceless source of inspiration, instruction and grace to those who possess it, and may it be spread far and wide throughout the Catholic world, to the greater honor and glory of Almighty God and of His Blessed Mother Mary, His angels and His saints.

INTRODUCTION
Litanies have long been in use in the Church. The word “litany” comes from the Latin “ litania ,” “ letania .” It stood for a form of responsory prayer which involved a number of invocations or petitions grouped around one main subject or sacred theme.
Litanies have long been employed both in public liturgical devotions of the Church and in private devoti
