居家退省

献给我们的主基督

TO CHRIST OUR LORD

基督的灵魂,圣化我。
基督的身体,拯救我。
基督的圣血,陶醉我。
基督肋旁的水,涤净我。
基督的苦难,坚固我。
良善的耶稣,垂听我。
藏我在你的圣伤里,
永不让我离开你。
当仇敌来袭时保护我,
当我生命将尽时呼召我,
引我与众圣徒一起歌颂你的爱,
直到永永远远。
阿们。 这篇祷文可能源自方济会,至少可以追溯到十四世纪初,也许是约翰二十二世时期。在圣依纳爵在世时非常流行。

Soul of Christ, be my sanctification;
Body of Christ, be my salvation;
Blood of Christs side, fill all my veins;
Water of Christs side, wash out my stains;
Passion of Christ, my comfort be;
O good Jesus, listen to me.
In thy wounds I hide me,
Never let me be parted from thy side.
Guard me should the foe assail me,
Call me when my life shall fail me.
Bid me to come to thee above
With thy saints to sing thy love,
World without end.
Amen.
This prayer, whose origin was probably Franciscan, goes back at least to the beginning of the fourteenth century, perhaps to the time of John XXII. It was very popular during the lifetime of St. Ignatius.
