The prayer said kneeling after Communion, asking to be hidden in the wounds of Christ.
A short medieval prayer of union with Christ, traditionally said in thanksgiving after receiving him.
When: Kneeling after Communion, and at any moment of temptation or fear.
Why: It asks for one thing only: to be joined to Christ, hidden in his wounds, and kept there until death. Saint Ignatius placed it at the head of the Spiritual Exercises.
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 separated from thee. From the malignant enemy defend me. In the hour of my death call me, and bid me come unto thee, that with thy saints I may praise thee for ever and ever. Amen.
