Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers: Anima Christi
Posted by tom | Jan 14, 2009Soul 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
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From all the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bidst me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise thee
Forever and ever. Amen -- p.29
Join me in prayer for each member of our family to be Christ-centered as we return to the rhythm of Wednesday night activites at our local congregation -- choir for the girls, Mom's chat for Theresa (and Lily), and gathered prayer for Tom.
Note: Anima Christi (Latin for Soul of Christ) is often used as a private Eucharistic devotion (note: Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me). It appears to date from the early 14th century, for more visit here.
