Prayers

Anima Christi Prayer

(This prayer is said after receiving communion.)

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;
separated from you, let me never be;
From the evil one protect me;
At the hour of my death, call me;
And close to you bid me; That with your saints,
I may be praising you forever and ever.

Amen.

St. Michael Prayer

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host—by the Divine Power of God—cast into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen

Prayer for Peace

Mary, Queen of Peace,
save us all, who have so much trust in you,
from wars, hatred, and oppression.
Make us all learn to live in peace,
and educate ourselves for peace,
do what is demanded by justice
and respect the rights of every person,
so that peace may be firmly established.
Amen.
