One of the very popular Catholic prayers I urge people to say as often as possible is the Litany of the Saints. It’s a beautiful and efficient traditional prayer in the Catholic Church, often recited during the Easter Vigil, Ordinations, and other significant liturgical events.
The Litany of the Saints is a powerful invocation of the saints, asking for their intercession on our behalf. It reflects the communal nature of the Church, both on earth and in heaven, as we seek the prayers of those who have gone before us in faith.
