Anima Christi Kilgarlin Laminated Prayer Card
- Description
Soul of Christ, Sanctify Me. The Ancient Prayer of Total Surrender.
The Anima Christi — "Soul of Christ" — is one of the oldest and most beloved prayers in the Catholic tradition, dating back to the 14th century. It is a prayer of total surrender to Christ, prayed especially after receiving Holy Communion, asking Jesus to sanctify, strengthen, and hide us within His wounds. St. Ignatius of Loyola loved this prayer so deeply that he placed it at the beginning of his Spiritual Exercises.
This beautifully laminated Kilgarlin prayer card carries the full Anima Christi in a format you can carry to every Mass, every adoration hour, every moment of prayer, finished with gold color accents. It is one of the most powerful post-Communion prayers ever written — and one of the most beautiful cards in the Kilgarlin collection.
