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 Your wounds hide me,
Suffer me not to be separated from You,
From the malignant enemy defend me.

In the hour of my death call me,
And bid me come to You,
That with all Your saints,
I may praise You
Forever and ever.

Amen.

This prayer is often recited after receiving
the host at Communion. The origin of the prayer
is uncertain.
