Soul of Christ, be my sanctification. Body of Christ, be my salvation. Blood of Christ, fill all my veins. Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains. Passion of Christ, my comfort be. O good Jesu, listen to me. In thy wounds I fain would hide, Ne’er to be parted from thy side. Guard me should the foe assail me. Call me when my life shall fail me. Bid me come to Thee above, With thy Saints to sing thy love, World without end. Amen.

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.
