This works very well when it is read over background music.
We used the Taizé chant "Veni Creator Spiritus"
but any meditative piece of music would work.

If using music, try to time it so that there is a short pause before the last line -
so that the words simply drop into the silence...

Note: You don't need to use the whole Litany!
