Matt Maher's 'Litany' is a contemporary worship song that takes the form of a traditional litany, calling on a series of saints—from Saint Michael to Saint Gabriel—to pray for us. The repeated Latin phrase 'Ora pro nobis' (pray for us) underscores the song's intercessory nature. It invites listeners into a posture of humility and dependence on the communion of saints, while ultimately directing attention to God's grace. The song blends ancient liturgical practice with modern worship, creating a meditative and prayerful atmosphere that encourages believers to seek the prayers of those who have gone before them in faith.
