I believe in the wisdom of God, and I know that he did not call me for the priesthood for good reasons. I can't stop thinking about how immensely fortunate the two men who are prostrate on the floor are. May God always guide their steps and may they have holy lives. By the way, this chant and this mass are absolutely beautiful, I love my Church. Let's pray for the Church and its pastors.
Hallo Herr Horstmann. Wenn Sie die Litanei hören möchten, kommen Sie vorbei zu Kleiner Michel (Stadthausbrücke) um 18.30 Uhr am 1 November 2018 (Tag der allerheiligen). Es gibt schöne Musik auf Lateinish und danach die Messe um 19 Uhr. Sie sind gerne eingeladen. Ich bin sicher dass es Ihnen gefallen würden. Grüße aus Hamburg :)
As an active and practicing Catholic, it's great to read such nice comments. I was in the seminary for a year and I had the priviledge to attending a half dozen ordinations in different dioceses. Regarding this specific arrange, this is MY FAVORITE. Another way of chanting the litany of the saints is just for the cantor to recite the saint's name and have the congregation recite "pray for us." Some dioceses tend to be rigidly conservative and only do this arrangement, which is slightly a shame, because this one on RU-vid is much more beautiful, powerful, and involves the congregation. I only know of one diocese who does not use this litany arrangement, and it's the one I live near. That's for another conversation. Keep the Faith, BMM
I have searched everywhere for the TRADITIONAL Litany of the Saints which I knew as a child from Parochial school. Most of the ones offered here, are edited versions or chanted. If I could find the prayer book I had which contained all Litanties, such as Litany of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Litany of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, etc. I would be elated. I will pray to St. Anthony ( who has a Litany of the Lost) to help me find that prayer book.
If you don't find it then make a phone call to Cotters Church Supply in Los Angeles - (800) 446-3366. They will probably have the book you are looking for.
This is such a beautiful hymn imploring the intercession of our holy saints. It has always been one of my favorites, but done in the context of an ordination and sung so perfectly, touches me more deeply than words could express. Thank you for posting this on "youtube". I'm interested in knowing where this ordination took place. I sponsor a seminarian in India and sent this link to one of the priests in the congregation. God bless you! Linda
I always thought the alleged Holy Cross v Jesuit rivalry was restricted to High School football, but "Francis Xavier and Ignatius" was specifically omitted in this otherwise gorgeous rendition. Even in years when Bellarmine beats St Francis, the saints and blesseds of the Society of Jesus praise God in gratitude for the excellent works of the Congregation of the Holy Cross, and vice versa.
+Manuel Marroquin, those men are becoming priests. They lay on the ground to symbolize how unworthy they are to receive this ministry, as well as to symbolize the need for prayers from the greater Christian community.
Pope John Paul II, after his ordination on All Saints Day in 1946, wrote a poem called "The Floor". In it he discusses how the priests are the floor, that is, they give themselves so that others my find God, even if they are walked on.
@@thebigmon why do atheists love telling everyone they are atheists . It’s like gays The litany is not the traditional litany but rather a woke new age liberal one with a woman on the ambo
At Belleville's St. Peter Cathedral the ordinandi are prostrate in the sanctuary and the priests of the diocese are off to the sides on their knees praying during this part of the ordination mass. Who cannot be moved a the sight of their soon to be brother priests in reverent supplication while looking on......More than once I have noticed that a ray of sun will shine down right on the candidates.......
Can anyone tell me where I can get the music sheet for this beautiful Litany? I am to be ordained a Priest in a months time and I would love to have this version. Thank you. Any help would be great! :)
I remember the first couple of times I experienced the Litany of the Saints during Mass. In the pit of my being I felt that Heaven were being stirred up and Holiness was escaping from It. What an amazing experience that was for me!
can someone please post the lyrics for this version of the litany of the saints? Please :D This is my favorite (it mentioned two of my favorite saints: St Jude and St Thomas Aquinas) I promise to remember that person (who will post the lyrics) when i pray the rosary as a sign of gratitude :D May God be praised!
Here is your lyrics... I spent several hours over the last week preparing this... first I found the lyrics for the original Litany of the Saints by John D. Becker, then I ran this video through a program to separate the audio track as a WAV file, then I ran the WAV file through an audio editor and slowed the audio down (with pitch correction) and transcribed the lyrics. Even with that I could not get them all, you will find a few entries of ??? Then I compared them line for line... there are a large number of differences. I am posting what I transcribed, and also the original Becker lyrics... In return for this you can say a rosary for my mother and father, both returned to our Lord in 1984.. I get the impression that the master of ceremonies or maybe just the male and female cantors were customizing the Litany for this service... They specifically dropped Elijah, Moses, Isaac, Sarah, Abraham, Francis Xavier and Ignatius, "and all apostles"... and Ruth... (does that make them Ruthless?)... and they were not comparing notes, each invoked Paul...

Let us pray for the Church ,pray the Prayer to St.Micheal against the devil, we are living in the last days & the devil has been given limited time to tempt the church, that is why many priests are scandalized & many believers are turning away from the faith ,so that the Prophecy in Mathew 24 can come true.
Everyone should be kneeling down(no exceptions) when the Litany of the Saints are being prayed. unless there’s a problem with someone’s knees. Even the pope kneels when the Litany of the Saints are prayed.. This is the correct way..
I love this litany. A like this version the male and female cantor interchanging is most effective. Soft supportive pipe under the the lead. A beautiful arrangement. The best version on you tube. truly full of grace
