An Original Latin Version<\/h2>\r\n

Long time readers will know that we posted previously the Litany of Divine Providence.\u00a0<\/em>If you have visited for None, you know that we say this prayer each day in English. But our English prayer is largely a translation of a much older Latin prayer. Now, for the first time, we are posting the\u00a0Litany of Divine Providence<\/em> in its original Latin alongside the English translation many of you are familiar with.<\/a><\/p>\r\n

A Mectildian Custom<\/h2>\r\n

This litany is customarily said after None in the Mectildian tradition. It is used at Silverstream Priory<\/em> almost every day (excepting days such as the Sacred Triduum). It is usually recited at about quarter to three. Through this litany, the monks entrust with confidence the whole monastery, the monastery\u2019s friends, families, and benefactors, the entirety of the Institute of Benedictines of Perpetual Adoration, the whole order of St. Benedict, the Church, Ireland, and the whole world to the Lord.<\/p>\r\n

The Power of Praying Together<\/h2>\r\n

Our Lord has said: \u201cAgain I say to you, that if two of you shall consent upon earth, concerning anything whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be done to them by my Father who is in heaven. For where there are two or three gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them\u201d (Mt 18:19-20). Those who pray this litany on their own are invited to unite their intention to that of the Monks.<\/p>\r\n

More to Come<\/h2>\r\n

Mother Catherine Mectilde de Bar of the Blessed Sacrament laid the foundation in 1653 of the Institute of the Benedictines of Perpetual Adoration, which still exists today, more than three and a half centuries later. During the past three hundred years, many hundreds of Benedictines have devoted themselves to perpetual adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar in a spirit of reparation for the impieties committed against the Most August Sacrament of the Altar. To accommodate this charism, a number of devotions and prayer books grew up. These books are now very rare, and few of the prayers have been translated into English. The Litany of Divine Providence<\/em> itself is only one of these prayers.<\/p>\r\n

Vultus Christi<\/em> hopes to translate and share some of these prayers from time to time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
