    Acte d’amour du Saint Cur\u00e9 d’Ars<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Je vous aime, \u00f4 mon Dieu, et mon seul d\u00e9sir est de vous aimer jusqu’au dernier soupir de ma vie.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Je vous aime, \u00f4 Dieu infiniment aimable et j’aimerais mieux mourir en vous aimant que de vivre un seul instant sans vous aimer.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Je vous aime, \u00f4 mon Dieu, et je ne d\u00e9sire le ciel que pour avoir le bonheur de vous aimer parfaitement.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Je vous aime, \u00f4 mon Dieu, et je n’appr\u00e9hende l’enfer que parce qu’on n’y aura jamais la douce consolation de vous aimer.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    O mon Dieu, si ma langue ne peut dire \u00e0 tout moment que je vous aime, du moins je veux que mon c\u0153ur vous le r\u00e9p\u00e8te autant de fois que je respire.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Ah, faites-moi la gr\u00e2ce de souffrir en vous aimant, de vous aimer en souffrant et d’expirer un jour
    \nen vous aimant et en se sentant que je vous aime.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Et plus j’approche de ma fin, plus je vous conjure d’accro\u00eetre mon amour et de le perfectionner.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Ainsi soit-il!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    For those who would rather read their prayers in English:<\/span><\/p>\n

    Act of love of the Holy Priest of Ars<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    I love you, oh my God and my only desire is to love you until my last breath.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    I love you, oh infinitely kind God and I prefer to die loving you than to live a single moment without loving you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    I love you, oh my God and I long for heaven only in order to know the bliss of loving you perfectly.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    I love you, oh my God and I only fear going to hell because there I will never experience the sweet consolation of loving you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Oh my God, if my tongue is not able to say at every opportunity that I love you, I want at least my heart to repeat it to you as many times as I take a breath.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    My God give me the grace of suffering out of love for you, of loving you while I suffer. Give me the grace of one day breathing my last out of love for you and at the same time feeling how much I love you.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    The closer I come to my final end the more I beseech you to intensify and perfect my love for you. <\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

    Amen.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
