You thought the Litany was long before. Blessed Lataste has been added. He's the friar in the middle of this picture. Sorry it's so poor. It's a picture of a holy card, one of my "cloistered brothers" drew it. That's Pere Lataste in the center. Mother Henri Dominique is last, in the second row, right. An anonymous "cloistered brother" is in front--the only one not in habit. He's just wearing the Dominican Laity's scapular for those who are Final Promised. Oh! There's one other not in habit. First row right, the last lady, is in 1860 French prison garb, representing a prisoner from Cadillac prison. To understand this cast of holy people, please read the Spring edition of eLumenate.
As I was saying, the Litany of Dominican saints is not an ejaculatory prayer. It's very long. It's not said often. One reason is because it's so long, but also, it's potent. It's a powerful prayer. Over the weekend, the President of the LFSD was requested by our Provincial, to start praying the Litany. It seems that Archbishop Augustine Di Noia, O.P. has requested that the Dominican Litany be prayed for the success of full reconciliation of the Society of Pius X with Rome. Archbishop Di Noia has been made vice president of the commission charged with bringing the SSPX back home.

The last time the Dominican Litany was prayed by the Dominican Family was to pray for a satisfactory solution to bring back those Anglicans who wish to come back to Rome. Archbishop DiNoia helped set up the personal ordinoriates to accommodate all those Anglicans. The Dominican Litany was successful then, and will be again. You are welcome to join us.
