| 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 (1521-1590).
For about half of the invocations, the present translation uses the traditional
renderings, which have been in use since the seventeenth century. |

Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
Grant, we beseech you, O Lord God,
that we your servants
may enjoy lasting health of mind and body,
and by the glorious intercession
of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
be delivered from present sorrow
and enter into the joy of eternal happiness.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
