Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)

Christ holding the Eucharist, painting by Juan de Juanes
Juan de Juanes, The Saviour with the Eucharist (c. 1545)

A beloved prayer from the 14th century, often prayed after Holy Communion. St. Ignatius of Loyola placed it at the start of his Spiritual Exercises.

Listen and pray along

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 with Thy saints I may praise Thee for ever and ever. Amen.
