About This Prayer

The Litany of Trust is a modern Catholic prayer composed by Sr. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V., of the Sisters of Life. It flows from the Divine Mercy devotion and the powerful invocation: “Jesus, I Trust in You.” Each line of the litany names a fear, doubt, or lie that can hold us back from God’s love, followed by a plea for Jesus to deliver us. The second half of the litany affirms truths about Christ’s love and providence, with the response: “Jesus, I Trust in You.” Though relatively new, the Litany of Trust has spread quickly and is now prayed by Catholics worldwide. It offers a simple yet profound way to deepen one’s relationship with Christ, reminding the faithful that trust—not fear or control—draws us closest to Him.

When To Pray

The Litany of Trust can be prayed at any time, especially in moments of doubt, anxiety, or when facing life’s uncertainties. Many Catholics use it during Eucharistic Adoration, retreats, or personal prayer time as a way of letting go of fear and embracing God’s will. It is also a fitting prayer during the Divine Mercy Novena, the 3 o’clock Hour of Mercy, or on Divine Mercy Sunday. Because of its format, it also works well as a communal prayer in small groups or parish settings.
