Anima Christi
Soul of Christ, sanctify 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 your wounds hide me. Permit me not to be separated from you. From the wicked foe, defend me. At the hour of my death, call me and bid me come to you that with your saints I may praise you forever and ever. Amen. †

God's Blessings of One's Daily Work
O, Lord my God, creator and ruler of the universe, it is your will that human beings accept the duty of work. May the work I do bring growth in this life to me and those I love and help to extend the kingdom of Christ. Give all persons work that draws them to you and to each other in cheerful service.
I unite all my work with the sacrifice of Jesus in the Mass that it may be pleasing to you and give you glory. I beg your lessons upon all my efforts. With Saint Joseph, my example and guide, help me to do the work you have asked and come to the reward you have prepared.
Amen †
