I LOVE You, O my God,
and my only desire is to love You,
till the last breath of my life.
I LOVE You, O most lovable God,
and I would rather die out of love for You,
that live for one single moment without loving You.
I LOVE You, O my God,
and the only reason why I wish to go to heaven
is because there I will be able to love You perfectly.
I LOVE You, O my God,
and the only reason why I fear hell is because
there I will never have the joy of loving You.
O my God, if my tongue cannot say,
at every moment, that I LOVE You,
at least let my heart repeat these words
every time I breathe.
Give me the grace to suffer out of LOVE for You
and to LOVE You when I suffer.
May I breathe my last in loving You
and feeling that I LOVE You.
As I come closer to my end,
may my LOVE for You grow more and more perfect.
AMEN.
