ANIMA CHRISTI – A BELOVED 14TH-CENTURY CATHOLIC PRAYER OFTEN SAID AFTER COMMUNION

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.
Hide me within your wounds,
keep me close to you,
defend me from the evil enemy,
call me at the hour of my death,
and bid me to come to you,
to praise you with your saints,
forever and ever.
Amen.
