St John Vianney Prayer
The Prayer
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.

About This Prayer
This heartfelt act of love was composed by St. John Vianney, the humble parish priest of Ars, France, and patron saint of parish priests. His deep devotion and personal intimacy with God shine through in these words, expressing the burning charity that defined his life. The prayer reflects his simple yet profound theology — that the greatest act a human can offer is pure love of God. It is an excellent meditation for anyone seeking to rekindle sincere love for the Lord in the midst of daily life.
