I was going through the spiritual exercises this week and got to the part that says "pray an 'Our Father.' " I thought that meant the Lord's Prayer, but then I looked it up, and this is what it is:
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within your wounds, hide me
Permit me not to be separated from you
From the wicked enemy, defend me
At the hour of my death, call me
And bid me come to you
That with your saints I may praise you
For ever and ever.
Amen.

So hopefully that helps if you didn't already know that prayer!
M, what you've quoted is the "Anima Christi" or "Soul of Christ." The "Pater Noster" or "Our Father" is indeed the Lord's Prayer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I realized that in class.
