@chavousc I hope that's not the worst sin God forgives.

@MrBatti993 The true litany of the saints is in our hearts.

HE IS THE BENEDICT
-
A litany is a prayer with a recurring formula, and a prayer can be in any language. There's nothing wrong with an English litany
-
The first part of the litany is actually supposed to be a repeat of each invocation (e.g., v. Lord have mercy, r. Lord have mercy, v. Christ have mercy, r. Lord have mercy, etc.).

ACK! This is so beautiful, but now that someone pointed out that they gave the wrong response, I can't listen to it anymore! All I can hear is them asking the Trinity to "pray for us!" Somehow I had missed it! :-( ignorance is bliss sometimes...
-
@petermanz12 The crowd responded incorrectly. The first part of the prayer's response was supposed to be, "hear our prayer". We pray to God the Father, Jesus, His Son and the Holy Spirit. We ask others to pray for us, just like others who may ask you to pray for them.

Why were they asking God in all his Devine persons to "pray for us".........who are They praying to??
-
er that should be XI
The true Litany of the saints is in Latin !

This version of the Litany of Saints is not the original as one has already pointed out. As beautiful as it sounds, I think it's too bad that a more modern rendition - one that breaks up the litany and actually lengthens it - is being preferred to the traditional version, and in the presence of the Pope himself!
