"Litany of the Saints" by Christi Chiapetti

In this vid, I included pictures to match the Litany sung at the '08 Youth Rally in Yonkers NY when Pope Benedict XVI was at St. Joseph's Seminary.

NOTE: I re-downloaded this video. Previously, some had thought that this was not an approved version of the Church's Litany. So I temporarily removed it until I could check things out. Questions were raised about including non-canonized "Blessed's", along with subjects that (while very good) seem to be out of place (i.e., "Pro-life", "individual dioceses", etc.). After some research, I am satisfied that this is a legitimate practice of the Church according to the Ordo Cantus Missae (OCM - Order of Chants, 1972).

Here are the words to this adaptation:

"Lord, have mercy.

God our Father in heaven,
God the Son, our redeemer,
God the Holy Spirit,
Holy Trinity, One God
Holy Mary Mother of God,
Saint Joseph, Spouse of Mary,
Saints Peter, Paul and Holy apostles,
Saint Isaac Jogues and Holy Martyrs,

Saint Patrick, Bishops and Priests,
Saints Dominic and Catherine,
Saints Francis and Claire,
Saint Theresa of Jesus,
Saint Peter Claver,
Saint Juan Diego,
Saint Rose of Lima,
Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys,

Saint Thérèse of Lesieux,
Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton,
Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini,
Saint John Neumann,
Saint Teresa Benedicta,
Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha,
Blessed Edmund Rice,
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta,

Lord, show us your kindness
Draw young people to serve you,
in priesthood,
and religious life.
Inspire the people of our world
with respect for human life
that there may be an end
to the culture of death.

Guide and protect
the dioceses of Baltimore,
Boston, Louisville, New York,
Philadelphia and all your Church.
Keep our Holy Father,
our Bishops and all clergy,
in faithful service
to your Church."
