Verses for Vianney
I love You, O Most Lovable,
always-- before and after death
if I lose all my faculties
my heart shall say it with each breath
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inspired by:
"I love You, O m y 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."
~St. John Vianney (the Curé of Ars)
