When we pray are we praying for the Glory of God or vain glory for myself? What about repetitive prayer like the heathens? Is the Rosary, the litany of the Saints, the Precious Blood or the litany of the Blessed Virgin a reconstitution of the prayers like the heathens? Aren't those prayers simple repetition? We look to the Fathers, principly Augustine and Chrysostom, but also we look into the Old Testament and see that litanies are part of our heritage as the people of God.
