Všichni svatí za nás proste
The Communion of Saints
The hymn invokes the intercession of the Czech patron saints before concluding with a plea for Christ's mercy.
All you saints, pray for us; do not let us perish—Saint Vitus, Saint Norbert, Saint Procopius, Saint Sigismund, Saint Adalbert, Saint John of Nepomuk, Saint Ludmila, Saint Wenceslas!1 Christ, have mercy!
Read the original Latin
Všichni svatí za nás proste, zahynouti nám nedejte, svatý Víte, svatý Norberte, svatý Prokope, svatý Zikmunde, svatý Vojtěše, svatý Jene Nepomucký, svatá Lidmilo, svatý Václave! Kriste eleison!

Never lose the rhythm again
Chosen Portion delivers your morning, midday and night office to your phone — the Hours, without the bells.
Chosen Portion is a modern Book of Hours: it turns the fixed-hour structure this collection preserves into scheduled, tappable daily prayer on your phone.
- Three daily prayer moments scheduled around your real calendar, not a monastery's
- Psalms and historic prayers sequenced for you — no page-flipping or decision fatigue
- A visible streak of completed offices, so the rhythm compounds instead of collapsing
