Litany of Supplication
==Litany of Supplication==
The [[Litany of Supplication]](Slavonic: Просительная ектения; Greek: Δέησις, Πληρωτικά), sometimes called ''Litany of Completion'', is characterized by its first petition, "Let us complete our prayer unto the Lord," and by its petitions that end with "let us ask of the Lord," to which the faithful respond "Grant this, O Lord." The petitions beseech ("supplicate") the Lord for the spiritual well-being of the faithful. The initial petition may be modified to denote time of day (e.g. "Let us complete our evening prayer unto the Lord."), and therefore the Litany of Supplication may be called the "Evening Litany" or "Morning Litany," depending on the service in which it is said. In the [[Divine Liturgy]], which is considered to be "outside of time," the Litany of Supplication does not denote a time of day.
