Proposed Novena of the Litany of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Priest and Victim

I am proposing a novena before the bishops' meeting in Dallas, June 13-15. To conclude the novena on the day before the meeting begins, it will have to start a week from today, June 4.

The Litany of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Priest and Victim, is a favorite of the pope's, and it is very profound. In his book Gift and Mystery, he says that it has been used traditionally at the seminary in Cracow, especially on the day before ordinations. It is available at several websites. (Do a search on the full title.) But I have recently added it to ELCore.Net.

Beginning next Tuesday, I will post a link here to the Litany each day, along with a suitable prayer from the Sacramentary/Breviary. Deo voluntas, some of the other Catholic bloggers will chime in with me.

Also, as Mark Shea pointed out today, Michael Dubruiel has posted a proposal from a Michigan priest for a "Prayer Vigil for Holiness" during the meeting. I think that's a great idea, and our two proposals do not conflict, but rather complement each other.
