ANIMA CHRISTI RETREATS

Welcome to Anima Christi Retreats, the non-profit established by Father Dan Leary in 2012!

In the summer of 2023, Father Dan returned from three years of Missionary work with the Sisters of Mary in Chalco, Mexico, and is now Pastor of St. John the Evangelist Parish in Clinton, MD. We welcome Father Dan back to the US and look forward to continuing to support his Healing and Retreat ministry! We will continue to provide links to the work of the Sisters of Mary and their founder, Venerable Aloysius Schwartz, a native of the Washington DC area. Ven. Al's cause is up for Canonization. We hope you will continue to support the work of the Sisters of Mary and World Villages for children. Learn more here: www.worldvillages.org

ARE YOU BATTLE READY?

Ephesians 6:10-17

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God ... "

God’s voice stills you.
Satan’s voice rushes you.

God’s voice leads you.
Satan’s voice pushes you.

God’s voice reassures you.
Satan’s voice frightens you.

God’s voice enlightens you.
Satan’s voice confuses you.

God’s voice encourages you.
Satan’s voice discourages you.

God’s voice comforts you.
Satan’s voice worries you.

God’s voice calms you.
Satan’s voice obsesses you.

God’s voice convicts you.
Satan’s voice condemns you.

The Divine Office

ANIMA CHRISTI ("Soul of Christ")

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 Thy wounds hide me.
Suffer me not to be separated from thee.
From the malignant enemy defend me.
In the hour of my death call me.
And bid me come unto Thee,
That with all Thy saints,
I may praise thee
Forever and ever. Amen.
