Summary/Abstract: Invocations in litanies and Mary’s names called upon therein resound with an admiration of the exceptional role of Mother of God in the history of salvation and gratitude for her co‑participation in the life and mission of Christ. The diversity of invocations– as it is pointed out by the author of the collection – reveals Mary’s spiritual beauty, the relationship with the Holy Trinity and the Church, but most of all it creates Mary as being close to each human and each living creature, a guardian, who has intercession for our salvation, comforter and as a paragon of woman and mother. This collection of litanies presents a total of 655 invocations of Mother of God in 873 uses which comprise: the name of Mary, forms of Mary and Madonna as well as structures that have these names as their constituents.
