Litania Christi

Litany of the Most Holy Mind of Our Lord Jesus Christ

"Renew yourselves in spirit in your thinking"

Ephesians 4:23

A contemplative prayer that invites us to view the world not only with human eyes, but from the perspective that Jesus teaches — shaping our minds in the likeness of His.

Imitating Christ in Thought

To imitate Christ means, above all, to accept His way of thinking. The Litany of the Most Holy Mind of Our Lord Jesus Christ is a prayer of transformation — an invitation to look upon ourselves, upon others, and upon the whole of creation through the eyes of faith, wisdom, and love that Christ exemplifies.

Drawing from Matthew 16:23, where Jesus calls us to think not as human beings do but as God does, this litany traces the contours of the mind of Christ across twenty-eight invocations. Each petition opens a window onto a different aspect of His divine and human consciousness.

"You do not think as God does, but as human beings do."Matthew 16:23

Lives Transformed by This Prayer

"

I felt that to be transformed, I needed to allow myself to be transformed and engage. The litany became a month-long meditation tool, with each invocation prompting reflection and Scripture study.

Sr. Maria-Aneta Sztaba, CSFN

"

This litany opened new horizons of prayer and thought. The individual invocations give the possibility of standing in truth and verifying my attitudes, behavior, and especially my thinking.

Piotr Sukiennik

"

The simplicity and depth of this prayer is remarkable. It has given me a framework for ongoing interior conversion and helps me ask: how would Christ think about this?
