Litany of the Saints John Becker

A beautiful rendition of the Catholic Litany of the Saints. This arrangement is perfect for the Rite of Baptism within the Easter Vigil. May all holy men and women intercede for us.

[@Kjt853]

Full respect for Protestants because they are Christian in the end but I don’t understand how anyone would choose a rock concert and symbolic Communion over beautiful masses and more I don’t get how we are “idol worshippers” for thinking Mary is our sinless mother and she can pray for us

[@captainmadone]

John Becker was the music director at Guardian Angles Church in Oakdale, MN during the 1980's. He wrote pieces like Litany of the Saints, Come Taste and See, Lead Me Lord, & Alpha and Omega. I remember the projector screen that had John's lyrics on transparent sheets that were swapped out as the song was being played so the congregation could sing along. My sister and I heard these songs so much that eventually we didn't need to look at the projection screen as we had the lyrics memorized. She and I didn't realize it at the time, but what a treat it was every Sunday for us to watch and listen to him preform the unique pieces of music he created. I wish I could find recordings of his work that contained his own voice. If anyone has them, please post a comment. I'd love to connect and possibly obtain those.

[@tdeo2141]

This is so soothing to my mind during this time of confusion and sin. Helps me to pray with the saints and remember that Heaven is the prize---where sin no longer has a hold on God's people. What a merciful and loving God that we have!

[@donlandry3152]

this litany reminds me of Saint John Paul 2. I'm sure future renditions will include him as well. The Church evolves sanctimoniously but will never change her doctrine. Its ok to have different versions of the songs of the faithful as long as they are doctrinal correct. This version is beautiful.

Is there a problem? My boyfriend, a dyed in the Protestant, would tell me the problem with Catholics and Orthodox Christians is we have too many Saints...LOL And I tell him, at this day and age we need all the help we can get these days, on Earth as well as in Heaven. And when I'm feeling down in the dumps or have a fear of failure or success, he'll turn back around and say to me, "Don't you know you have a huge cheering session and Amen corner pulling for you, no matter what? And if you happen to stumble and fall, they're always there to pull you back up, patch your booboos and tell you to carry on and keep up the good work...Progress is nothing but a path, not a destination!" As St Maximillian Kolbe once said, "All progress is spiritual...or it's not progress!"

[@terrywestbrook-lienert2296]

AMEN! The more, the merrier!

[@sxyslyvxn]

I totally agree! Remember what God told Abraham, "Count all the stars in the heavens as many as you can...this will determine the number of your descendants!" And when John wrote the Revelation, he described a massive multitude of the Faithful gathering after the Great Tribulation, clad in white robes, adoring the Lamb with many anthems and hymns of praise, "Worthy is the Lamb that was once slain!" I had the privilege of seeing this painting by Van Eyck in complete detail and i must say, it pales in comparison to what awaits us soon. If only our misled 'fundie' types knew what they're missing!

Beautiful Litany of the Saints. Looking to working with all of you as fellow Evangilser's through Song.

[@jewelbrennan3243]

for Francis who dislikes this beautiful reverent rendition: The first mass, the Last Supper was in the vernacular of Aramaic not Latin the language of the Romans who conquered the Jews. Our Lord did not have His back turned to those present. No art of the Last Supper would dare portray this fallacy. No Jesus faced them in the midst of them. Vatican II called for liturgical return to the earliest vernacular. The only original Eucharistic Rite that does this is the Eastern Church Maronite Rite who never separated from the Western Roman Church and has had the approval of aal the pipes for 2000 years to pray in their vernacular of Aramaic. There is one vine. Christ but many beautiful liturgical branches in the Church's liturgical, historical, traditional treasure chest. In the Holy Spirit's gift of Love, try to understand those of God's children who pray with love and joy and reverently sing Becker's litany. Many do not know Latin and do not understand what they are praying when they use it. Full active participation in the Liturgy and private prayer calls for the Holy Spirit's gift of understanding. I write as one who has studied Latin for 5 years and as a doctoral theologian but I would never force my love for Latin on any one.

[@JacobSnell1998]

But see now you are taking sides too. It is true that our Blessed Lord did face the Apostles and spoke in Aramaic, but that is not a reason to try to bash the traditional Roman Rite. Because Pius V also said the Tridentine Mass should be the only form of Mass offered in the Roman Rite. Read the Quo Primum.

[@UrbaneFarmer]

Origen Controversy - Wikipedia A commercially published setting of the Litany of Saints by John Becker[12] includes the name of Origen among its additional saints. Although recognized[13] by Pope Benedict XVI as a significant theologian, Origen is not listed in the Roman Martyrology[14] and was anathematized in the year 553 for certain opinions he was alleged to have held.[15] Origen's inclusion in a published litany, albeit without the official sanction of Catholic authorities, has resulted in vigorous comment in the blogosphere.[16] Litany of Saints at OCP Publishing - with preview[permanent dead link] of some of the text available.

Litany of the Saints found in the Roman Gradual 1974 (meaning the Traditional Form) is better. The General Instruction of the Roman Missal, the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy and other Liturgical Documents says that THE GREGORIAN CHANT HOLDS THE PRIMARY PRIDE FOR THE USE OF ROMAN RITE. That's what the Vatican II said. STILL GREGORIAN CHANTS, either in Latin or set in the Vernacular, such found in the current Musical Notation found in the Roman Missal.

I swear...I could add at least a few more others to the list of Saints; people like Blessed Rupert Mayer, Alfred Delp (Jesuit martyrs of Nazi wrath); St Titus Brandsma, Edith Stein, OCD; Anglican Martyrs of New Guinea; Rev. Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Lutheran pastor); Thomas Merton; St Maximillian Kolbe, OFM; Archbishop Oscar Romero; St Peter the Aleut; St Maria Skobtsova (of the Eastern Orthodox Church); Catholic Archbishop Lichtenberg of Berlin; numerous Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic and Protestant clergy, religious and laity who were victimized by the Nazis, Communists and other radical ideological reactionaries over the centuries...If anyone isn't familiar with some of these people, feel free to ask! ;-) Keep mindful every few seconds someone or some group of people in the world and/or the Universe are being martyred by either being imprisoned, exiled, tortured or killed. Pray for them and their persecutors! Even some of the latter have been converted by the example of their victims and wound up becoming martyrs themselves! As Tertullian once noted while witnessing the martyrdom of his fellow Christians in the Coliseum of ancient Rome, "The blood of martyrs is the seed of the Church!"
