\nSoul of Christ, sanctify me.
\nBody of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me.
\nWater from Christ\u2019s side, wash me.
\nPassion of Christ, strengthen me.
\nO good Jesus, hear me.
\nWithin Thy wounds hide me.
\nSuffer me not to be separated from thee.
\nFrom the malignant enemy defend me.
\nIn the hour of my death call me. And bid me come unto Thee, that with all Thy saints, I may praise thee Forever and ever. Amen.<\/p>\n
