Praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart, the child takes over the responses -
me: "Heart of Jesus, obedient unto death.."
baby: "Have mercy on us!"
me: "Heart of Jesus, pierced with a lance"
baby: "Have mercy on us!"
So we finish the full litany and I move on to the prayer of St. Augustine, this is midway: "Christ Jesus, my sweet Lord, why have I ever loved, why in my whole life have I ever desired anything except Thee, Jesus my God?"
baby: " I don't know!"
me: "Heart of Jesus, obedient unto death.."
baby: "Have mercy on us!"
me: "Heart of Jesus, pierced with a lance"
baby: "Have mercy on us!"
So we finish the full litany and I move on to the prayer of St. Augustine, this is midway: "Christ Jesus, my sweet Lord, why have I ever loved, why in my whole life have I ever desired anything except Thee, Jesus my God?"
baby: " I don't know!"
What an appropriate response! :-)
