ACT OF LOVE OF SAINT JOHN VIANNEY
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 wilt increase and perfect my love for Thee. Amen.


Father Neil Bakker
