DEVOTIONALAnima Christi

Anima Christi (Soul of Christ)

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 For ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Saint Francis (Make Me an Instrument)

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. Thou hast given all to me; to Thee, O Lord, I return it.

Most holy Apostle, Saint Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the Church honors and invokes thee universally as the patron of hopeless cases and of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, I am so helpless and alone. Intercede with God for me that He bring visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of Heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (mention petition), and that I may praise God with thee and all the elect forever.

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.

Amen.
