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.
Never let me be separated from Thee.
From the wicked foe, defend me
And at the hour of my death,
Call me and bid me come to Thee,
That with Thy angels and saints
I may praise Thee forever in eternity. Amen.
- A favorite prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola; author unknown; dates from the 14th-century (Wikipedia).
Latin
Anima Christi
Ãnima Christi, sanctÃfica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inébria me.
Aqua láteris Christi, lava me.
Pássio Christi, confórta me.
O bone Iesu, exáudi me.
Intra tua vúlnera abscónde me.
Ne permÃttas me separári a te.
Ab hoste malÃgno defénde me.
In hora mortis meæ voca me.
Et iube me venÃre ad te,
ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
in sæcula sæculórum. Amen
