Remember that litany I said I would work on ?
Last month, I posted about a Jesuit-focused blogger and a Jesuit-focused litany she blogged. I mentioned that I was thinking of writing an Oratorian Litany. Well, I did it. This is, of course, not for public use, and I have not run it past anybody. I included only my two favorites from the Oratorian venerabili , since finding information on the others in English is tough. I used the magnificent Litany of St. Philip Neri by the Venerable John Henry Newman as a template and swiped some of his titles for the founder. If you click on the names of those mentioned, you will find information on them.
