LITANY 12 - Litany of the Truth of God

O Lord, Your Word is Truth,
have mercy.
O Christ, You who are the Word made flesh and thus the Truth,
have mercy.
O Lord, Your Word is Truth,
have mercy.

From all lies and falsity;
from all deceit and deception;
from all half-truths and distorted truth;
from all that would shade, shadow and obscure the Truth;
and from all those who peddle and push such untruth,
Deliver us, O Lord.
Blessed be the Way and the Truth and the Life.

By Your faithfulness to those who were unfaithful in their calling to speak and deal only in the Truth;
By Your seeking those who sought false testimony against You,
By Your witness to those who were false witnesses against You;
By Your true confession for those who sought false confessions against You;
By Your hearing the blasphemy of the blasphemer;
By Your silently bearing the injustice of those who could not bear with You,
And by Your receiving the condemnation of the condemned;
Help us, Good Lord.
Blessed be The Way and the Truth and the Life.

In all times of our lying and our deceit;
In all times of our suffering the lying and deceit of others;
In all times of our want for what is untrue and false;
In all times of our suffering for the Truth;
In all times of our fear of the Truth;
And in our constant and desperate need for the Truth;
Help us, Good Lord.
Blessed be The Way and the Truth and the Life.

For the work of the Holy Spirit to call and enlighten us by the Truth;
For the faithful use of the Holy Scriptures - the Truth;
For the blessings of the Truth upon Your Church;
For the faithful governance of Your Church according to the Truth;
For the end of all divisions by full subscription to the Truth;
And for deliverance from the schemes of the evil one by the Truth,
We implore You to hear us, Good Lord.
Blessed be The Way and the Truth and the Life.

For all those who have been denied the Truth;
For all those who have been made to suffer for lack of the Truth or its perversion;
And for all those who hunger and thirst for the Truth;
Have mercy, Good Lord.
Blessed be The Way and the Truth and the Life.

To give us and all people ears to hear and hearts to believe in He who is the Truth;
To save us and all people by the Truth;
To sanctify us and all people by the Truth
To defend and strengthen us and all people by the Truth;
To keep us faithful messengers of the Truth to Your Church and all people;
And to lead us all into the way of the Truth;
We implore You hear us, Good Lord.
Blessed be The Way and the Truth and the Life.

Lamb of God, Living Truth that takes away the sin of the world;
Have mercy.
Lamb of God, Living Truth that takes away the sin of the world;
Have mercy.
Lamb of God, Living Truth that takes away the sin of the world;
Grant us Your peace.

O Lord, Your Word is Truth,
have mercy.
O Christ, You who are the Word and thus the Truth,
have mercy.
O Lord, Your Word is Truth,
have mercy. Amen.
