Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)

Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)

IHS Monstrance

The Anima Christi is a beloved Eucharistic prayer, traditionally prayed after Holy Communion. Though often associated with St. Ignatius of Loyola, who placed it at the beginning of his Spiritual Exercises, the prayer dates to the early 14th century.

English

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, embolden me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within thy wounds hide me.
Permit 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 to thee,
that with thy saints I may praise thee
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Latin (Anima Christi)

Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Et iube me venire ad te,
ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.

Note: The Latin "inebria me" ("inebriate me") refers to being filled with divine grace. Some modern translations use "embolden me" to capture this meaning more clearly.
