Today’s prayer, written by Ignatius of Antioch (? – 108), an early Christian writer and the Patriarch of Antioch.
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.
Permit me not to be separated from you.
From the wicked foe, defend me.
At the hour of my death, call me.
And bid me come to you that with your saints I may praise you forever and ever. Amen.
Turn, Lord, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love. [Psalm 6:4]
