About this listen

Since the earliest days of the Church, the faithful have sought divine assistance through the use of the litany, which is an alternating form of prayer. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary is a Marian litany originally approved in 1587 by Pope Sixtus V. It is also known as the Litany of Loreto from its place of origin, the Shrine of Our Lady of Loreto in Italy.

Twelve invocations refer to Mary as Mother whilst six extoll her as Virgin. Thirteen titles are derived from the Old Testament, followed by four calling on her as helper and advocate. The last 13 name Mary as Queen.

In 1980, Pope John Paul II added the title "Mother of the Church", and in 1995 he added the invocation "Queen of Families”. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary has also been set to music (as the Litaniae lauretanae) by composers such as Palestrina, Charpentier, Mozart, Jan Dismas Zelenka, Joseph Auer and Johannes Habert.
