In Fidelity with Christ, His Church, and His Vicar
In Consecration to His Mother Mary
Litany of Confidence
(For an introduction and explanation of this litany, please see the .pdf version)
Suggested Prayer Methods
1. Pray as a Litany from top to bottom. This can be done daily, allowing time for meditation on whatever rises to your attention from the Litany.
2. Pray as a Novena, using 3 passages a day. Option: divide the Novena into 3 times slots over the day using one passage each time as a brief meditation. This would be a Novena on the 9 themes.
3. Pray as a triple (27 days) Novena of Meditation, using 9 passages per Novena according to the 3 Works of God. Pray one passage per day, with meditation. Pray the first Novena for Humility, the second for your Petition, and the third in Thanksgiving. (For this method, a brief journal of each day can be a powerful tool for reflection and discernment.)
