                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Yes, you would. Praying for the Holy Souls, then, is a fulfillment of the Golden Rule given to us by Christ—to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If you feel an aversion to praying for the poor souls, then simply remember what you would wish if you were in their position. 4.

Like all litanies, it is designed to be recited communally, but it can be prayed alone.

The word litany comes from the Greek word litaneia which means petition or supplication.
