Anima Christi (Soul Of Christ)

This beautiful prayer of unknown authorship was composed in the first half of the 14th century. I love its power and simplicity. It's accompanied by sacred harp music and ethereal song. Listen to connect to the light of Christ. Image by Peter Nicola, with thanks.

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. Oh 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, And bid me come unto thee. That I may praise thee with thy saints and with thy angels forever and ever.
