The Anima Christi

A medieval prayer of union with Christ, prayed after Communion.

Soul of Christ, be my sanctification.

Body of Christ, be my salvation.

Blood of Christ, fill all my veins.

Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains.

Passion of Christ, my comfort be.

O good Jesus, listen to me.

In Thy wounds I fain would hide,

N’er to be parted from Thy side,

Guard me, should the foe assail me.

Call me when my life shall fail me.

Bid me come to Thee above,

With Thy saints to sing Thy love,

World without end. Amen.
