Act of Love of the Holy Cure d'Ars

I love Thee, O my God,
My only desire is to love Thee,
Until the last breath of my life.
I love Thee,
O infinitely loveable God,
And I prefer to die loving Thee,
Rather than to live for an instant without Thee.
I love Thee, O my God, and I desire only to go to
Heaven, to have the happiness of loving Thee perfectly.
I love Thee, O my God, and my only fear is to go
To hell, because one will never have the sweet solace of
Loving Thee there.
O my God, if my tongue cannot say at all times
That I love Thee, at least I want my heart
To repeat it to Thee as many times as I breathe.
Ah! Do me the grace: to suffer while loving Thee,
To love Thee while suffering, and, that when I die:
I not only will love Thee but experience it in my heart.
I beg Thee that: the closer I come to my final
End, Thou will increase and perfect my love for Thee.
Amen.
