Litanies are an ancient and honored means of expressing our fervent adoration and petitions to the Blessed Trinity. Taken in the form of short invocations followed by a short response, there are six approved litanies in the Catholic Church. This is not one of them, and is permitted only for private recitation. (As in, not in part of the official liturgy of the Church; it can be recited in public with others.) In English:
