| An
old and popular form of prayer in honor of the Name of Jesus. The author
is not known. At the request of the Carmelites, Pope Sixtus V
(1585-90) granted an indulgence of 300 days for its recitation. Though
this was an implied recognition of the litany, requests made in 1640,
1642, and 1662, for formal approval were rejected. In 1862 Pius IX
approved one of the formularies in use, and attached an indulgence of 300
days for the faithful of the dioceses whose bishops had made special
application. Pope Leo
XIII on Jan. 16, 1886 extended the privilege to the entire world. |

Make us, O Lord, to have a perpetual fear and love of Your holy name, for You never fail to govern those whom You establish in Your love. You, Who live and reign forever and ever. Amen
