Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary–Litany of Loreto

The Litany of Loreto, a Marian litany, contains invocations that date back to the twelfth century. It was recorded in its present form (apart from a few additions by recent popes) at Loreto in 1558 and approved by Sixtus V (1520-1590). For about half of the invocations, the present translation uses the traditional renderings, which have been in use since the seventeenth century.

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
