These men and women died for the TLM! Let us invoke their prayers for its preservation and wider use. All ye Martyrs of England and Wales, pray for us!
From Fr Z's Blog
I received a note from a reader.
I was praying this litany of the English Martyrs today. Please note we implore them to always preserve the Latin Mass, something they died for in many cases.
Perhaps in these remarkable times this litany would afford comfort.
I love the English martyrs! Let devotion to them prosper!
Amen.
The Litany of the English Martyrs is perfectly sound and usable, but note that it is not one of the Litanies approved for public recitation.
A site with the Litany, which can be used privately. HERE

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
