O Godhead (Adoro Te Devote) Prayer by Saint Thomas Aquinas
O Godhead hid, devoutly i adore Thee,
Who truly art within the forms before me; To Thee my heart i bow with bended knee, As failing quite in contemplating Thee.
Jesus, Eternal Shepherd! hear our cry; Increase the faith of all whose souls on Thee rely.
Sight, touch, and taste in Thee are each deceived; The ear alone most safely is believed; i believe all the Son of God has spoken, Than truth's own word there is no truer token.
God only on the cross lay hid from view; But here lies hid at once the manhood too; And i, in both professing my belief, Make the same prayer as the repentant thief.
Thy wounds, as Thomas saw, i do not see; Yet Thee confess my Lord and God to be; Make me believe Thee evermore and more; In Thee my hope, in Thee my love to store.
O Thou memorial of our Lord's own dying! O living bread, to mortals life suppying! Make Thou my soul henceforth on Thee to live, Ever a taste of heavenly sweetness give.
O loving Pelican! O Jesus Lord! Unclean i am, but cleanse me in Thy Blood! Of which a single drop, for sinners spilt, Can purge the entire world from all its guilt.
Jesus, whom, for the present, veil'd i see, What i so thirst for, oh! vouchsafe to me; That i may see Thy countenance unfolding, And may be blest Thy Glory in beholding.
Soul Of Christ Prayer by Saint Ignatius Loyola
Soul of Christ, santify 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,
Never let me be separated from Thee,
From the malignant enemy, defend me,
At the hour of my death, call me,
and bid me come to Thee,
That with Thy Saints, i may praise Thee,
forever and ever. Amen.
