St. Liz's Anima Christi

Soul of Jesus sanctify me
Blood of Jesus wash me
Passion of Jesus comfort me
Wounds of Jesus hide me
Heart of Jesus receive me
Spirit of Jesus enliven me
Goodness of Jesus pardon me
Beauty of Jesus draw me
Humility of Jesus humble me
Peace of Jesus pacify me
Love of Jesus inflame me
Kingdom of Jesus come to me
Grace of Jesus replenish me
Mercy of Jesus pity me
Sanctity of Jesus sanctify me
Purity of Jesus purify me
Cross of Jesus support me
Nails of Jesus hold me
Mouth of Jesus bless me in life,
in death, in time and eternity in the hour of death defend me - call me to come to thee, receive me with thy saints in glory evermore.

Unite me to thyself, 0 adorable Victim ... life giving heavenly bread feed me; sanctify me . . . reign in me, transform me to thyself; live in me, let me live in thee, let me adore thee in thy life giving Sacrament as my God ... listen to thee as to my Master ... obey thee as my King ... imitate thee as my model ... follow thee as my shepherd ... love thee as my Father ... seek thee as my physician who will heal all the maladies of my soul... be indeed my Way, Truth and Life... sustain me 0 Heavenly Manna through the desert of this world, till I shall behold thee unveiled in thy Glory.

~St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
