Lord have mercy - Kyrie eleison
As we continue to pray for the situation in our country and for all those suffering, let us say together: "Lord have mercy", an ancient prayer, used as a confession and an intercession in the Church since time immemorial.
We have gathered together a collection of video clips that present the prayer Kyrie eleison (Lord have mercy) in a variety of musical settings from different cultures and liturgies. May God indeed have mercy on us and on all His children.
