The Litany of Humility is a Catholic prayer that the penitent be granted the virtue of humility. A litany is a form of prayer with a repeated responsive petition; it is not used in public liturgical services of the Catholic Church, but in private devotions of adherents. A Ukrainian language version of the litany, attributed to the Russian Orthodox priest Alexander Men, appears in two prayer books: Molytovnyk Dl'a Rodyny (Prayer Book for the Family) published in L'viv in 2010 by Apriori; and Molytovnyk (Prayer Book), published in Kyiv in 2017 by Duh i Litera.

  • No se conoce con certeza la historia de esta letanía. Aparece en múltiples devocionarios a partir de mediados del s. XIX (por ejemplo, en inglés en 1867,​ y en francés en 1865,​ 1873​ y 1866)​). Antes de esa fecha el P. Giseppe Ignazio Franchi, en su Trattato pratico e istruttivo dell'amore al propio disprezzo indirizzato a condurre le anime al conseguimento della vera umiltà​​ ya contiene unas "letanías de la humildad", aunque son muy diversas de las que hoy se conocen con ese nombre. Al parecer fue Charles Belmonte quien, al publicar su Handbook of Prayers (Studium Theologiae Foundation, Manila, 1986) diciendo que se atribuían al Card. Merry del Val, en muchas publicaciones posteriores apareció este último como su autor. El mismo Card. Angelo Sodano, en una homilía con ocasión del centésimo aniversario del nombramiento del Cardenal anglo-español como secretario de estado, hablaba de estas letanías como "sus letanías de la humilidad".​ Sin embargo, en las últimas ediciones del Handbook of Prayer del Midwest Theological Forum se dice simplemente: «Letanías de la humildad que el Cardenal Merry del Val solía recitar después de celebrar la Santa misa».​ Por otro lado en su Breviario Laico, Gianfranco Ravasi cita una oración de san Carlos de Foucauld que contiene varias de las peticiones de esta letanía, y dice que estas "letanías de la humildad" fueron "compuestas por un testimonio del Evangelio hasta el martirio, Charles de Foucalud".​ Sin embargo, por lo dicho arriba, atribuir las letanías a cualquiera de estos dos personajes es inverosímil. Hay una gran semejanza entre esta letanía y la letanía para conseguir la paz interior, cuyo origen se puede remontar con certeza sólo a 1945, cuando se encontró en una hoja suelta dentro de un antiguo y no identificado manual de oraciones».​ (es)
  • The Litany of Humility is a Catholic prayer that the penitent be granted the virtue of humility. A litany is a form of prayer with a repeated responsive petition; it is not used in public liturgical services of the Catholic Church, but in private devotions of adherents. This litany is commonly attributed to Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val (1865-1930), Cardinal Secretary of State of the Holy See under Pope Pius X. C.S. Lewis attributed its composition to Merry del Val in a March 1948 letter to Don Giovanni Calabria. Father Charles Belmonte was inspired by the writings of Merry del Val and included it in a collection, the Handbook of Prayers (Studium Theologiae Foundation, Manila, 1986, and in a later edition by Midwest Theological Forum, Chicago, US), and described it as "attributed to Card. Merry del Val". Subsequent copyists wrote simply: "by Card. Merry del Val". A "Litany to Obtain Holy Humility" was published in 1867 by "A R.C. Clergyman". A version very similar to the version attributed to Cardinal Merry del Val was published in 1880, copyright 1879, and "translated from the French of the Fifth Edition." It appears Merry del Val was using a lesser known but already published prayer. The original author of the Litany of Humility is unknown. A Ukrainian language version of the litany, attributed to the Russian Orthodox priest Alexander Men, appears in two prayer books: Molytovnyk Dl'a Rodyny (Prayer Book for the Family) published in L'viv in 2010 by Apriori; and Molytovnyk (Prayer Book), published in Kyiv in 2017 by Duh i Litera.
