Let us pray.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou hast said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened to you." Grant, we beg of Thee, to us who ask it, the gift of Thy most divine love, that we may ever love Thee with our whole heart, in word and deed, and never cease praising Thee.
Give us, O Lord, as much a lasting fear as a lasting love of Thy Holy Name, for Thou, who livest and are King for ever and ever, never failest to govern those whom Thou hast solidly established in Thy love.
R. Amen.
This litany has been in use for over 500 years, having been composed by the Franciscan Saints Bernardine of Siena and John Capistrano. In 1585 Pope Sixtus V, on appeal of the Carmelites, attached an indulgence of 300 days for recitation of this litany. In 1862 that Pope Pius IX approved one of the several versions for public use, and in 1886 Pope Leo XIII extended the public and solemn use of this litany to the world.
Indulgence of seven years, with a Plenary under the usual conditions, if said daily together with the prayer, for one month.
