Litany of the Love of God

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever belives in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.
God the Father of Heaven,
Have mercy on us.
God the Son, Redeemer of the World,
Have mercy on us.
God the Holy Ghost,
Have mercy on us.
Holy Trinity, One God,
Have mercy on us.

Response: I Love Thee, O my God.

Thou Who are Infinite Love,
Thou Who didst first love me,
Thou dost command me to love Thee,
With all my heart,
With all my soul,
With all all my mind,
With all my strength,
Above all possessions and honor,
Above all pleasures and enjoyments,
More than myself and all that belongs to me,
More than all my relatives and friends,
More than all men and angels,
Above all created things in Heaven or on earth,
Only for Thyself,
Because Thou art the sovereign God,
Because Thou art infinitely worthy of being loved,
Because Thou art infinitely perfect,
Even had Thou not promised me Heaven,
Even had Thou not menaced me with Hell,
Even should Thou try me by want and misfortunes,
In wealth and in poverty,
In prosperity and in adversity,
In health and sickness,
In life and in death,
In time and in eternity,
In union with the love wherewith all the Saints and all the Angels love Thee in Heaven,
In union with that infinite love wherewith Thou lovest Thyself eternally,

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 saints in Heaven, the country of pure love.
R.Amen.
