Anima Christi

A Eucharistic prayer asking Christ to sanctify, heal, and keep the soul close to him.

Prayer Text

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. 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 with thy saints I may praise thee forever and ever. Amen.

The Anima Christi is especially fitting whenever you want to stay near the Eucharistic Lord.

  1. Pray it slowly after Communion or during Eucharistic adoration.
