Holy Trinity Litany

INTRODUCTION

A litany is a form of prayer, consisting of a series of petitions that are presented in a formula (“Modern Catholic Dictionary” on Catholic Culture).

This is an annotated litany.  Guidance is provided to give the reader context and deepen the prayer experience.

There are five sections.
