Litanies

At Catholic Youth Networking's Litany Collection, you can peruse the Six Great Litanies of the Church, as well as numberless others, such as the undeservedly obscure Litany to the Father of Mankind, a wonderful Gaelic litany to the Virgin and, even more delightful, the Litany of St. Thomas Aquinas, which acclaims him as "Incomparable scribe of the Man-God," and "Intoxicated with the strong wine of His charity." There are also some thoughts on how to pray with Litanies. Litanies are already such wonderful treasuries of Catholic knowledge and piety, and to turn over the phrases in your mind, like turning the pages of an ancient illuminated manuscript bright with blue and gold, is a true pleasure. It's only appropriate that these little treasuries should be gathered into one great one.
