Body of Christ, Save
Me!
Save me from my great arch-enemy,
my weak and faltering self.
Save me from all greed of
money, of power, and of praise.
Save me from thirst for pleasure,
worldly show, and midnight revelry.
Save me from betraying You,
Dear Lord,
in thought, or in word, or
in deed.
Blood of Christ, Inebriate Me!
Blood of Christ, Inebriate
Me!
Inebriate me with Your Love,
that I may be absorbed in
Your interests and Your Will.
Absorbed so as to be unmindful
of my ills and petty cares.
Unmindful of weariness and
pain, heartache, and disappointment.
Heedless of the lash of cruel
words, and patient under wrongs.
Soul of Christ, Sanctify Me!
Soul of Christ, Sanctify
Me!
Make a saint of me.
Show me how to rid myself
of traits of character that annoy others;
that make the lives of those
about me miserable.
Help me to break the hardened
shell within which selfishness hides,
and which renders me insensible
to the needs of others.
May I become great enough
to be the servant of both rich and poor.
May I grow strong in virtue,
so as to sustain the weak
and encourage the weary.
May my heart increase its
power to love,
so as to be able to minister
kindness to the timid and mercy to the wayward.
May I have the honor to bring
cheer to all my fellow men
on the long and sometimes
rugged road of life.
