I am wondering where i can find a MP3 file of the Litany of Saints
that was sung during Pope John Paul II funeral last spring at the
Vatican. I will pay for a recording should you find a link that has
it.

Hello eastbayguru-ga,

It?s surprisingly hard to find this MP3. It doesn?t seem to have been
made available by official Vatican or Catholic sources. Using the
following search strategy, I was able to find the Lintany online.

http://www.benedictourpope.com/Litany.mp3

I?m also including a link to the available video/DVD of the funeral.
I?ve also included a link where you can read the full litany and one
on the use of litanies in Catholic masses.

All the best.

Hello eastbayguru-ga,

I'm sorry you didn't look at the answer sooner. I definitely listened
to the litany online before I posted the information. As you've found,
some of these sites are no longer available.

Here is a link to a discussion by several other people also looking
for the Litany and their suggested sources.

Here's the magic question. Can anyone tell me where I can find the
"Litany of the saints" in the same format from the funeral on Audio?
I'm not sure if the vatican choir sung it, and if they have a CD.

... Contains the Litany of the Saints (in Latin), which was sung at
the funeral of Pope John Paul II (by a different group, of course).

It seems that the Catholic Church has not made the recording of the
litany from the funeral readily available. Your best bet seems to be
to buy the DVD of the funeral mass. It's $25 (or $20 VHS).

Good luck.
