Origin of the Prayer

Sr. Faustina Maria Pia of the Sisters of Life once found herself struggling with a decision and turned to the Lord, asking him to increase her trust. In The Story Behind the Litany of Trust on Ascension Presents, she recalls, “I needed trust and God gave me a way to ask for it.” Inspired by the Holy Spirit, she began writing the fears and desires of her heart in the style of the Litany of Humility. From this prayerful moment was born a new litany—the Litany of Trust. Since then, it has been prayed millions of times, its words profoundly resonating with hearts across the world.

When to Pray this Prayer

The Litany of Trust is a beautiful prayer for times of anxiety or fear. Each line speaks to the heart in a unique way, depending on the circumstances of the one praying. As you pray, notice which lines stand out to you—these are often the very areas where the Lord is inviting you to place your trust in him.
