Anima Christi- "Soul of Christ"
This well-known prayer dates its origin from the first half of the fourteenth century. In regard to its authorship all we can say is that it was, perhaps, written by John XXII. 'Tis one of my favorite prayers.
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 malicious enemy, defend me. In the hour of my death call me and bid me come unto Thee, that I may praise Thee with Thy saints and with Thy angels forever and ever. Amen.
