Litany of Let Love

by the Sisters of Life

I recently discovered the Litany of Let Love while listening to the Advent series on the Hallow App, a Catholic-centered app that offers Bible readings, prayers, and meditations. Though I am Protestant, I have enjoyed their material immensely. I especially appreciate the Sleep Bible Stories on the nights I struggle to quiet my thoughts, as well as the scripture readings by Jonathan Roumie. (You may know Jonathan from The Chosen, a fabulous series about the life and ministry of Jesus. It’s quite a treat to have “Chosen Jesus” read you The Beatitudes as you fall asleep.😉)

Below is the abbreviated version of the litany I read on the podcast. Click here for the full version.

Father, good and ever-faithful
Jesus, Savior ever-merciful
Holy Spirit, well-spring of true life and love

I give You permission: Reign in my heart, mind, soul, and life.
Let Your Love come into my past, present, and future.
Let Your Love unfold in me.

That I Let Love reveal who I am;

God, in Whose Image I’ve been made, Father me.

That I Let Love define me;

God, in Whose Likeness I’ve been formed, shape me.

That I Let Love with courage and hope;

God, to Whose glory I’ve been called, be my strength.

That I Let Love forgive me, love me to the depths of my being, heal and glorify my wounds

That I let love free me from sin, liberate me from all my fears, and reconcile me to wholeness and peace,

Save me, Lord Jesus.

That I Let Love awaken me, lead me in every moment, and challenge me to live in and for love

That I let Love grow my mind, heart, and soul, draw me to live in the truth, transform me into the life of Christ

That I let love fill me to overflowing, captivate my heart, live in me, inspire me

Come, Holy Spirit.

That I Let Love cherish me;

Father, hold me in Your Heart.

That I Let Love receive me;

Jesus, keep me in your wounds.

That I Let Love be my rock and security;

Spirit, keep me in your peace.

Amen.
