→Augmented Litany
The [[Small Litany]] is a shortened form of the Great Litany. It begins with the words: ''"Again and again in peace let us pray to the Lord."'' It contains three petitions.
==Augmented Litany==
The [[Augmented Litany]] begins with the words ''"Have mercy upon us, O God, according to Thy great mercy, we pray Thee, hearken and have mercy"'' or ''"Let us all say..."'' It is a type of litany where after each petition the choir responds with ''"Lord , have mercy"'' thrice. Therefore the litany is termed "augmented," since it is an intensified supplication.
==Litany of Fervent Supplication==
