FOR
SOLEMN INTERCESSIONS
Adapted for Use
in the Diocese of Springfield in Illinois
The Litany of the Saints, along with a commentary on it, is included in Roman Calendar:
Text and Commentary published in 1976 by the United States Catholic Conference, now the
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops [USCCB].
The commentary on the Litany of the Saints as well as the Sacred Congregation of Rites,
Decree, Anni liturgici ordinatione, promulgating the editio typica of the General Roman
Calendar, 21 March 1969 [Notitiae 5 (1969) 163-164] notes there are various forms of this
litany in the Roman liturgy:
(a) the complete (solemn) text, used principally in the rogation processions and
public intercessions;
(b) abbreviated texts, based on the first and used in the Easter Vigil and in the
revised rites of the Roman Pontifical incorporated in a Mass; and
(c) a short form used in the rites with the dying.
The Litany for Solemn Intercessions is now included in the newer editions of the Rite of
Baptism for Children [RBC] for use in the Dioceses of the United States of America. These
editions published after 2001 also include the newer texts from the Lectionary for Mass,
second typical edition.
Emendations to some titles and responses, as well as the chant setting, have been made in
the new English translation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition and is reflected in this
edition of the Litany. The Missal strongly recommends this litany is used at the stational
gatherings on Sundays, especially in Lent, during the procession from the gathering place
to the church for the celebration of Mass.
This edition accommodates the rubric below – “names of other saints may be added in the
appropriate place in the liturgy (for example, patrons, titles of churches, founders, etc.), but
in a different kind of type” – in this manner: when the ENTER key is used, the next line
will print in red.
The complete text is reprinted below and emended in light of the above. English
translation © 1975, International Committee on English in the Liturgy, Inc. [ICEL]. All
rights reserved. A brief version for use in the assembly book is on the last page.
