Catholic Diocese of Wilmington - Litany of Saint Thomas More

In the United States, the Church today celebrates the optional feasts of St. Paulinus, St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher. Several years ago, Bishop Saltarelli of Wilmington asked that the Litany of St. Thomas More be used in the Diocese. Bishop Malooly has moved the Prayer to the Diocesan Website. I pray this Litany each evening and commend it to you as well. Saint Thomas More (the subject of the movie, "A Man for All Seasons") was a Bishop, Martyr and is the Patron Saint of Statesman, Politicians and Lawyers. The litany is found here , but I have taken the liberty to post it below:   Litany of St. Thomas More, Martyr and Patron Saint of Statesmen, Politicians and Lawyers V. Lord, have mercy R. Lord have mercy V. Christ, have mercy R. Christ have mercy V. Lord, have mercy R. Lord have mercy V. Christ hear us R. Christ, graciously hear us V. St. Thomas More, Saint and Martyr, R. Pray for us (Repeat after each invocation) St. Thomas More, Patron of Statesmen,
