Ánima 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, strenghten me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Thy wounds hide me. Separated from Thee let me never be. From the malignant enemeny, defend me. At the hour of death, call me. And bid me come unto Thee That with Thy Saints I may praise Thee forever and ever. Amen.

Behold, O good and sweetest Jesus, I cast myself upon my knees in Thy sight, and with the most fervent desire of my soul I pray and beseech Thee to impress upon my heart lively sentiments of faith, hope and charity, with true repentance for my sins and a most firm desire of amendment: whilst with deep affection and grief of soul I consider within myself and mentally contemplate Thy five most precious Wounds, having before mine eyes that which David, the prophet, long ago spoke in Thine Own person concerning Thee, my Jesus: "They have pierced My hands and My feet, they have numbered all My bones." (Ps. 21:17-18 Amen.
