A prayer of love

I love you, O my God,

and my only desire is to love you

until the last breath of my life.

I love you, O my infinitely lovable God,

and I would rather die loving you,

than live without loving you.

I love you, Lord

and the only grace I ask is to love you eternally.

My God, if my tongue cannot say

in every moment that I love you,

I want my heart to repeat it to you

as often as I draw breath.

- St. John Marie Vianney, the Curé of Ars
