Litany of the Saints

Note: The St. Vincent invoked is St. Vincent of Saragossa (i.e., "St. Vincent the Deacon"). The St. Anthony invoked is not St. Anthony of Padua, but St. Anthony of the Desert -- the Father of Monasticism. The St. Catherine invoked is not St. Catherine of Siena, but St. Catherine of Alexandria. The John and Paul invoked in the martyrs section are two pre-congregation martyrs, both of whom are also invoked during the Communicantes of the Canon of the Mass.

In the Latin version, you'll note that the section in which the Saints are invoked has two options for the response: "Ora pro nobis" and "Orate pro nobis." The first is used in response to the invocation of a single Saint; the latter is used in response to the invocation of more than one Saint. This is because Latin verbs are conjugated differently in the second person depending on whether the subject addressed is a single individual or more than one person. Speakers of the Romantic languages will intuit the difference immediately. Americans who don't speak French, Italian, Spanish, etc., can "sense" the difference by considering the use of "you" and "y'all" in the South: "You come back!" is used to address one person; "Y'all come back" is used to address more than one person. Another example is the use of "thou/thee" and "ye/you." "Thou" is used to address a single person; "you" is used to address more than one person. A Scriptural example of the difference can be found in Exodus 3:14:

Lord, have mercy on us. (Lord have mercy on us.)
Christ, have mercy on us. (Christ have mercy on us.)
Lord, have mercy on us. (Lord, have mercy on us.)

Christ, hear us. (Christ, hear us.)
Christ, graciously hear us. (Christ, graciously hear us.)
