Anima Christi

Soul of Christ, sanctify me


Body of Christ, save me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, give me strength

Hear me Jesus, hide me in Thy wounds


That I may never leave Thy side

From all the evil that surrounds me, defend me


And when the call of death arrives, bid me come to Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints forever

Based on one of St. Ignatius' favorite prayers, a prayer that Jandi learned in
preparation for First Communion in second grade at the Ateneo Grade School.
However, when he memorized the prayer as he was growing up, he inadvertently
missed one line from the original prayer: Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Thus when
he set the prayer to music in his sophomore year in college, that one line was not
included. Efforts were made by others, including Jandi to insert that one line in
accordance with tradition. But somehow, they all proved futile. This is how the
prayer has been sung since
