Changes

Unlike the [[Great Litany]], in which petitions are for the whole world, all groups of people in all places, in the '''Litany of Fervent Supplication''' the petitions are specifically for people who, either directly or indirectly, are involved in the local church community: the ruling bishop(s), clergy, the civil authorities & armed forces, brother and sister parishioners, the departed of the community, and all who labor for the well-being of the Church. The unique three-fold ''Lord have mercy'' responses give this litany its ''Fervent'' title, and therefore it is sometimes known as the "Triple [[Litany]]."

At Daily [[Vespers]] the Litany of Fervent Supplication is found at the end of the service, but at Great Vespers or [[All-Night Vigil]] it follows the [[Prokeimenon]] (or [[Old Testament]] readings, if appointed), and is also augmented with two petitions as at the Divine Liturgy.
