The Anima Christi prayer

The Anima Christi prayer is a popular Catholic prayer that dates back to the fourteenth century. The prayer is attributed to St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus, and is often used in various Catholic liturgical celebrations, including during the celebration of the Eucharist. The prayer is a personal reflection on the Passion of Christ, and it is often recited as a means of seeking spiritual union with Christ. The prayer speaks of Christ as the "soul of our souls" and asks for His mercy, strength, and protection. The Anima Christi prayer is a beautiful expression of the deep spiritual longing of the human heart for union with Christ, and it continues to inspire and comfort Catholics around the world.
