52 Prayers - Every Catholic Should Know
An Act of Charity
An Act of Charity is a prayer expressing deep love for God above all things and for one’s neighbor out of love for God. It affirms a heartfelt desire to love God because He is supremely good and worthy of all love, and to will the good of others in obedience to His command. For Catholics, this prayer reinforces the theological virtue of charity—the highest form of love—and encourages living a life rooted in selfless love and service.
O God, Who art Charity! Behold, he who abides in charity abides in Thee. I desire to receive Thee in this Sacrament, that I may be more strongly united to Thee in the bond of love. Who shall separate me from the love of Christ, my Savior? Oh, that neither life nor death, nor any accident of fortune, nor any creature may ever be able!
