In the Latin language version of the Litany, the names of one or more saints are chanted by a cantor or choir, and the congregants reply with either, "Ora pro nobis" (if one saint is addressed) or "Orate pro nobis" (using the plural imperative form of the verb, if more than one saint is addressed). Both responses translate to "Pray for us." However, it is permissible to personalize the Litany of Saints for a funeral rite or other Mass for the dead. When this was done during the Funeral of Pope John Paul II, the response was "Ora[te] pro eo", or "Pray for him."
