Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me;

Body of Christ, save me;

Blood of Christ, inebriate me;

Water from the side of Christ, wash me;

Passion of Christ, strengthen me:

O good Jesus, hear me;

Within Thy wounds hide me;

Suffer me not to be separated from Thee;

From the evil enemy defend me;

In the hour of my death call me,

And bid me come unto Thee,

That with all Thy saints I may praise Thee

For all eternity. Amen.
