Using a Litany
You are welcome to use one of these litanies in a personal, communal, or corporate setting. However, I request that you cite me as the author and include a link to this website. See this post for detailed instructions. If you are posting on social media, please do not share without linking to the original post here. By using one of these litanies you agree to those terms. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Tips on Using Litanies
Many of these litanies are written for congregational use as responsive readings. In general, sections in bold are to be read aloud by a congregation. Non-bold sections should be read by a leader.
Some words can have different meanings to different communities. If you like a litany but would like to change a word or two, I'm usually happy to make an edit if I have the time.
If your community has a need for a litany for a particular occasion, feel free to make a request on the contact page.
