Anima Christi – Soul of Christ
V. from the Haifa community has prayed for many years the traditional Catholic prayer, "Anima Christi" - "Soul of Christ" - and he proposes it to us as a prayer for this time and all times.
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.
Permit me not to be separated from thee.
From the wicked foe defend me.
At the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come to thee.
That with thy saints I may praise thee.
For ever and ever. Amen.
