Anima Christi

The latin word "Anima Christi" means “Soul of Christ”. A prayer where we ask our Lord, Jesus Christ for comfort, strength, and guidance We can meditate on His Passion and pray for His help to gain Eternal Life. We live in a world full of not-so-divine distractions, therefore we need put our absolute importance in prayer, which keeps us focused on God's power and goodness.

One of the prayers that can be said after receiving the body and blood of Our Lord, Jesus Christ in Holy Communion.

 

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, 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 I may praise Thee with Thy saints and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen

Anima Christi by Bukas Palad
Lyrics

Soul of Christ
Sanctify me
Body of Christ save me
Water from the side of Christ
Wash me, Passion of Christ
Give me strength

Chorus:
Hear me Jesus
Hide me in thy wounds
That I may never leave thy side
From all the evil that surrounds me
Defend me and when the call of death arrives
Bid me come to thee
That I may praise thee
With thy saints forever

(Repeat Chorus)
