Today, Tuesday November 1st 2022 is the Feast of All Saints.
A most joyful and glorious feast of All Saints! Remember that today is a Holy Day of Obligation, and therefore you are obligated to attend Mass (in most dioceses) and abstain from unnecessary servile labor. We are all encouraged to call together your friends and neighbors, pray the Litany of the Saints together or perhaps throw a party, buy a cake, and otherwise celebrate this happy feast day with all due festivity. God willing, may we all one day be counted among the number of the Church Triumphant!
The Litany of the Saints is one of six “Public” litanies of the Church which may be used in the liturgy according to the approved forms published in the liturgical books. If you want to hear a somewhat shorter version than was traditionally sung in Latin, but nevertheless sung in beautiful Gregorian Chant, click the link below to open the recording.

The traditional Litany was “reformed” after Vatican II and some sections were discarded, however the Wikipedia entry (linked below) contains English translations of the ancient long standing (pre Vat II) Latin version and the reformed (post Vat II) version.
