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.
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis meae voca me.
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Et iube me venire ad te,
Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te
in saecula saeculorum.
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Amen.
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.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Separated from Thee let me never be.
From the malignant enemy, defend me.
At the hour of death, call me.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
To come to Thee, bid me,
That I may praise Thee in the company
Of Thy Saints, for all eternity.
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Amen.

“Anima Christi” (Latin for “Soul of Christ”) is a Catholic Prayer to Jesus of Mediæval origin.
For many years, the Prayer was popularly believed to have been composed by Saint Ignatius of Loyola, as he puts it at the beginning of his Spiritual Exercises and often refers to it.
However, the Prayer actually dates to the Early-14th-Century and was possibly written by Pope John XXII, but its authorship remains uncertain.

It has been found in a number of Prayer Books printed during the youth of Ignatius and is in manuscripts which were written 100 years before his birth.
The English hymnologist James Mearns found it in a manuscript of the British Museum which dates back to about 1370. In the library of Avignon, there is preserved a Prayer Book of Cardinal Pierre de Luxembourg (☩ 1387), which contains the Prayer in practically the same form as that in which it appears today.
It has also been found inscribed on one of the gates of the Alcázar of Seville, which dates back to the time of Pedro the Cruel (1350 – 1369).[1]
The invocations in the Prayer have rich associations with Catholic concepts that relate to the Eucharist (Body and Blood of Christ), Baptism (Water) and the Passion of Jesus (Holy Wounds).
