ACT OF LOVE OF THE HOLY "CURÉ D'ARS"
 
I love Thee, O my God.
My only desire is to love Thee,
until the last breath ot 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 wilt increase and perfect my love for Thee. Amen.
