Anima Christi (基督的靈魂)

詞曲：毛寄瀛

基督的靈魂聖化我。基督的聖體救我聖血振奮我。

基督肋間的聖水洗淨我。基督的苦難堅強鞏固我。

親愛好耶穌俯聽我，在祢聖傷內求祢隱藏我。

永遠不讓我離開祢，在仇敵面前保護我。

當我死去時呼喚我。

告訴我從此我將歸於祢。

我可與諸聖天使讚美祢。

直到永遠永遠 阿們！

Anima Christi: A Prayer for All Centuries by Friar Jack Wintz, O.F.

This prayer touches us on emotional and mystical levels.

The words are most sacred and, with the Spirit’s help, happily lead us into an immediate union with Christ and, through him, with those we love, as we shall discuss later.

The Anima Christi (Soul of Christ) has been attributed at times to St. Ignatius Loyola (1491-1556), but historians say that the prayer predates Ignatius by as much as a century and-a-half.

A long tradition tells us, moreover, that it was a favorite prayer of Ignatius’.

Indeed, in many cases, it has served as the opening prayer of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.

The prayer is so sacred and sublime that it transcends all time, all centuries. We ask the Spirit to guide us into the sacredness and hope spelled out by these ancient words:

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 your wounds, hide me.

Let me never be separated from you.

From the malignant enemy, defend me.

In the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to you.

That with your saints I may praise you.

Forever and ever. Amen
