I Love Thee, O My God

I Love Thee, O My God is a Catholic prayer that expresses the desire to love God until the last breath of life, to prefer death to living without loving Him, and to long for Heaven for the sake of loving Him perfectly. It asks for the grace to love God while suffering, and that this love be increased and perfected as the end of life draws near. The prayer is attributed to St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars (1786 to 1859) and patron saint of parish priests.

I love Thee, O my God.
My only desire is to love Thee
until the last breath of my life.

I love Thee, O infinitely loveable God,
and I prefer to die loving Thee
rather than to live for an instant without Thee.

I love Thee, O my God,
and I desire only to go to Heaven,
to have the happiness of loving Thee perfectly.

I love Thee, O my God,
and my only fear is to go to Hell,
because one will never have the sweet
solace of loving Thee there.

O my God, if my tongue cannot say
at all times that I love Thee,
at least I want my heart to repeat it to Thee
as many times as I breathe.

Ah! Do me the grace
to suffer while loving Thee,
to love Thee while suffering,
and, that when I die,
I not only will love Thee,
but experience it in my heart.

I beg Thee that, the closer I come to my final end,
Thou wilt increase and perfect my love for Thee.
Amen.

Prayer of Consecration to the Holy Spirit

The Prayer of Consecration to the Holy Spirit is a powerful Catholic prayer of total surrender and devotion to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. Inviting the faithful to offer themselves — soul and body — to the Eternal Spirit of God, it includes heartfelt petitions for protection from sin, guidance in daily life, and the grace to remain faithful to His inspirations. Drawing upon the merits of Christ’s Passion, His Five Wounds, and His Precious Blood, this treasured Catholic devotion closes with a moving act of surrender from Sacred Scripture: “Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth.” (1 Samuel 3:10)

Prayer of Consecration to the Holy Spirit

Consecration video

On my knees before the great multitude of heavenly witnesses, I offer myself soul and body to Thee, Eternal Spirit of God. I adore the brightness of Thy purity, the unerring keenness of Thy justice, and the might of Thy love.

Thou art the Strength and Light of my soul. In Thee I live and move and am. I desire never to grieve Thee by unfaithfulness to grace, and I pray with all my heart to be kept from the smallest sin against Thee.

Mercifully guard my every thought and grant that I may always watch for Thy light, and listen to Thy voice, and follow Thy gracious inspirations. I cling to Thee and give myself to Thee, and ask Thee by Thy compassion to watch over me in my weakness.

Holding the pierced Feet of Jesus, and looking at His Five Wounds, and trusting in His Precious Blood, and adoring His opened Side and stricken Heart, I implore Thee, Adorable Spirit, helper of my infirmity, so to keep me in Thy grace that I may never sin against Thee.

Give me grace, O Holy Ghost, Spirit of the Father and the Son, to say to Thee always and everywhere, “Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth.” Amen.

The Fatima Prayer (O My Jesus)

O my Jesus,
forgive us our sins.
Save us from the fires of Hell.
Lead all souls to Heaven,
especially those who are in most need of Thy mercy.

The Glory Be (Prayer)

“The Glory Be” is a short but profound doxology that has been central to Christian worship since the early centuries of the Church. The prayer’s structure reflects the biblical foundation of Trinitarian theology, echoing the baptismal formula given by Christ: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). The phrase “as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be” affirms God’s eternal nature and unchanging glory, reminiscent of passages like Hebrews 13:8: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
