Soul of Christ

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 thy wounds, hide me;

Suffer me not to be seperated from thee

From the malicious enemy defend me;

At the hour of my death call me.

And bid me come unto thee;

That with thy saints I may praise you.

For all eternity.  Amen.

Prayer of St.Francis of Assisi

Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace,

Where there is hateres,  letbme sowbpeace,

Where there is injury, pardon/

Where there is doubt, faith

Where there is despair , hope

Where there is darkness,  light

Where there is sadness, joy

O Divine Master,  grant that i may not try to be comforted; but to comfort: Not try to be understood; but to understand : Not try to be loved, but to love; Because it is in giving that we recieve ; It is in forgiving that we are forgiven ; And it is in dying that we are born into eternal life. AMEN.

O God,  who by the light of the Holy spirit does instruct the hearts of your faithful grant we beseech you that by this same spirit we may be truly wise and ever rejoice in His consolation Through the Same Christ our Lors.  AMEN
