Thou Who art Infinite Love, I Love Thee, O my God.
Thou Who didst first love me, I Love Thee, O my God.
Thou Who dost command me to love Thee, I Love Thee, O my God.

With all my heart, I Love Thee, O my God.
With all my soul, I Love Thee, O my God.
With all my mind, I Love Thee, O my God.
With all my strength, I Love Thee, O my God.

Above all possessions and honor, I Love Thee, O my God.
Above all pleasures and enjoyments, I Love Thee, O my God.
More than myself and all that belongs to me, I Love Thee, O my God.
More than all my relatives and friends, I Love Thee, O my God.
More than all men and Angels, I Love Thee, O my God.
Above all created things in Heaven or on earth, I Love Thee, O my God.
Only for Thyself, I Love Thee, O my God.

Because Thou art the sovereign Good, I Love Thee, O my God.
Because Thou art infinitely worthy of being loved, I Love Thee, O my God.
Because Thou art infinitely perfect, I Love Thee, O my God.
Even hadst Thou not promised me Heaven, I Love Thee, O my God.
Even hadst Thou not menaced me with Hell, I Love Thee, O my God.
Even shouldst Thou try me by want and misfortune, I Love Thee, O my God.
In wealth and in poverty, I Love Thee, O my God.
In prosperity and in adversity, I Love Thee, O my God.
In health and in sickness, I Love Thee, O my God.
In life and in death, I Love Thee, O my God.
In time and in eternity, I Love Thee, O my God.
In union with that love wherewith all the Saints and all the Angels love Thee in Heaven,
I Love Thee, O my God.
In union with that love wherewith the Blessed Virgin Mary loveth Thee, I Love Thee, O my God.
In union with that infinite love wherewith Thou lovest Thyself eternally, I Love Thee, O my God.

Let Us Pray: My God, Who dost possess in incomprehensible abundance all that is perfect and worthy of love, annihilate in me all guilty, sensual, and undue love for creatures; kindle in my heart the pure flame of Thy love, so that I may love nothing but Thee or in Thee, until, being entirely consumed by holy love of Thee, I may go to love Thee eternally with the elect in Heaven, the country of pure love. Amen.
