Question
Father, what is the original or most traditional version of the Anima Christi?

Answer
The following is the form found
in the Breviarium Romanum for the
indulgence, approved by Pope Pius IX:

Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera, absconde me.
Ne permittas me separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno, defende me.
In hora mortis meae, voca me.
Et iube me venire ad te,
Ut cum Sanctis tuis laudem te,
In saecula saeculorum.
