Anima Christi

A gentle, musical prayer based on David L. Fleming's translation of this medieval poem of trust and surrender. Four easy-to-learn verses remind us that with Jesus “enough has been given.” SMATB

Lyric Outtake

May all that is you flow into me,
   a spirit-of-God filled humanity.
Lord, with you enough has been given.

May your body and blood
   be my food and drink—
   bread for the depth of our hungering.
Lord, with you enough has been given.

Refrain:
Soul of Christ! Breath of life!
Every need finds its grace in you.
