Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from Christ's side, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Suffer me not to be separated from Thee
From the malicious enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That I may praise Thee with Thy saints
and with Thy angels
Forever and ever
Amen

Sounds like a great protective, strengthening prayer. Definitely Catholic, and beautiful. Maybe this should be your daily affirmation? Blessed be.

Many Christians wish to be united with Christ in His death somehow. It's not that we glory in death, but we do rejoice at what Jesus' terrrible death accomplished. It sounds like the prayer you've cited would've been read in a communion service where this type of spiritual union with Christ regarding His death is practiced.

First of all is not Biblical. It's the Word that washes and sanctifies us by the power of the Holy Spirit (lots of scripturs for that),and the blood that cleanses our sin and makes us righteous (right with God as if had never sinned) The blood doesn't inebriate= make you drunk, intoxicate, might be refering to the type of drunkenness mentioned in this scripture (paraphrased)"do not be drunk with wine.........but be filled with the Holy Ghost , singing Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs".
You don't ask Jesus for anything, you talk to Him and praise Him, worship Him etc, but Jesus said several times and the apostles confirm it in the epistles that we should pray (ask for anything) to the Father in the name of Jesus. His wounds were to give us healing not to hide us, "by his stripes (wounds) we were healed.

Very cool. Sounds like some of the songs from John Mark McMillan, Passion Worship Band, David Crowder Band and others!

Broke all rules of praying :)).
Sound very Catholic (please no offenses).
You will be better with Armor of God
Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
Ephesians 6:15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Ephesians 6:16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Ephesians 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

sounds like a very humble prayer before God but not based entirely on a revelation and understanding of Christ.

The Lord already knows what you have need of before you ask Him. Lead of good life and follow the commandments.

It does have a Catholic sound to it. But I like it. Is it yours? I mean, did you write it? It could even be put to music.

I wonder how anyone can recite this with a straight face. Free yourself, religion is nothing more than caveman philosophy!

Any prayer is useless. Let's look @ the possible outcomes with and without the help of a supreme being;
"I'm sick, heal me lord"---lord decides to make you well--You're healed
"I'm sick, heal me lord"---lord decides you should die--You're dead
and without the lord's help;
"I'm sick, heal me lord"---no such thing as the lord, you get better--You're healed
"I'm sick, heal me lord"---no such thing as the lord, you die--You're dead
I don't see any difference, do you see any difference?
