Reflect on the petitions of the beautiful 14th-century prayer, the Anima Christi:![]()
1. Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
3. Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
5. Passion of Christ, strengthen me.
6. Within thy wounds, hide me.
7. Let me never be separated from Thee.
8. From the wicked foe defend me.
9. At the hour of my death, call me, and bid me come to Thee.
10. That with Thy saints I may praise Thee forever.
“May I never boast of anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
(Galatians 6:14)
Sister Rose,
#9 resonated with me. If we can truly accept God’s will – we know we have lived a good life. God, give us this strength. To do, and accept Your will.
