N the Cross: The prayer of St. Ignatius.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me.

Heart of Christ, enliven me.

Body of Christ, save me.

Blood of Christ, inebriate me.

Water flowing from the side of Christ, purify me.

Passion of Christ, comfort me.

O good Jesus, hear me.

Hide me within thy wounds.

Never permit me to be separated from thee.

From the malignant enemy, defend me.

At the hour of my death, call me, and cause me to come to thee,

Where with the saints and angels I may praise thee for everlasting ages. Amen. — (300 days' indulgence.)
