Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Famous and merciful one, you are part of Three and One
foretold by prophets,
lovely soul, Christ of fair cross,
4 clean me within like a jewel
Body of Christ, protect me
Body of Christ, most piteous is the bravado of sins
flesh demanded by so many
you give health, pure spirit
8 heal, Lord, and keep me alive
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Blood of Christ, lest I be sadly banished and lost
because of the sins I commit,
pact of the brightly-praised Lord,
12 keep me from the sin of drunkenness.
Water of Christ's side,wash me
Water from Christ's brave, grievously wounded side,
new cross of the protective king,
divine owner of hearts without loss
16 the sinless one who holds all life, wash me.
Suffering of Christ, strengthen me
The suffering of Christ from heaven, Lord of the world's
prophets,
your five wounds were grievous,
[this is my] most fervent prayer for a fine gift,
20 strengthen me, great Nobleman.
O good Jesus, hear me
Tender merciful Jesus, turn you to me,
the word of light,
Lord greatly praised [before] every altar,
24 listen to me without reproach.
And let me not be separated from you
And place for me my dwelling by your side,
noblest Lord, Lion of the world,
(I will praise you with an endless eulogy,
28 devoted service, like a bush.
So that I may praise you with your angels
With your host, Lord, mighty sustainer of angels,
in the light which is never lost,
in heaven [we] will all be brought together,
32 may salvation be soon, let it be true.
Amen
Let it be true, we will be brought to the fair kingdom of heaven
in humble homage
land on high, land of abundant nourishing blessings,
36 endless feast of the Deity.
