Texts from their published editions
Each text below comes from the edition named under it and was checked twice, independently, before it appeared. Neither check was a person. Where the two disagreed by even one character, the text is not shown here. That is a claim about wording only: these are not selected or endorsed for any particular situation, and nobody credentialed in the tradition has signed them. Older spelling is kept as the edition prints it. The full record, including the texts we held back because the two transcriptions disagreed, is at the verification record.
A fourteenth-century Eucharistic prayer beginning "Soul of Christ, sanctify me", widely attached to thanksgiving after communion and embedded in the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. It circulates in dozens of English verse and prose renderings, which differ substantially; naming the edition matters more here than for most Catholic prayers.
Wording and scope vary between editions and between communities, so this entry is tied to one named edition and makes no claim about which form is right in a given setting.

Nothing here has been signed by a reviewer credentialed in this tradition. When that happens, reviewed prayers appear above these, and these stay where they are, as an anthology. How that works.
