Anima Christi (Soul of Christ, Sanctify Me) | Arboleda / Zamora | Catholic Choir w/ Lyrics

"Anima Christi" (Soul of Christ) is a beautiful Catholic Communion prayer composed by Jandi Arboleda of the Bukas Palad Music Ministry in the Philippines, arranged by Arnold Zamora, and rooted in an ancient prayer of the 14th century that St. Ignatius of Loyola treasured as the opening prayer of his Spiritual Exercises. The prayer itself draws us entirely into the mystery of Christ's Body and Blood — "Soul of Christ, sanctify me; Body of Christ, save me… within Thy wounds hide me… from the malignant enemy defend me… in the hour of my death, call me, and bid me come to Thee" — making it the perfect prayer for Corpus Christi, after Communion or for any moment of quiet adoration before the Lord. Recorded live by the Sunday 7pm Choir at SFDS Parish, Ajax ON Canada.
