Get FREE Printable Anima Christi Prayer Copywork in Cursive and Printing



Our youngest became an altar server at our local parish on his name day about two years ago and has since expressed an interest in joining the Server's Guild at an FSSP parish some distance from our home.

Having visited the that parish for Mass recently, our son's enthusiasm only grew, so we are looking into the training he will need to undergo and understand that, as a part of it, he must commit to praying certain prayers daily, before Mass, and after Mass.

One of those prayers is one he is not that familiar with: Anima Christi Soul of Christ).

So, I have made him copywork of the prayer and am sharing a FREE PRINTABLE Anima Christi set here for others who may benefit from it.


Just like other free copywork sets I have shared, the Anima Christa printable includes a cursive model, a print model...


...and a blank line sheet.



That way, your children can choose to practice their printing, cursive, or both.

Also, as I typically do, I have used a double thick line at the bottom of each line on the blank sheet to help children remember to ground their letters and have also used spaces between words on the model to help children remember to leave spaces between words as they copy.

I hope this simple Anima Christi set blesses your and yours as you work on practicing prayers and handwriting.

You can find more free, printable prayer copywork here!

Learn More about the Anima Christa

The beautiful Anima Christi was composed in the first half of the 14th century and, as a favorite of St. Ignatius Loyola, enjoyed renewed prominence through his 16th century “Spiritual Exercises”.
Sometimes attributed to Pope John XXII, the prayer was enriched with indulgences in 1330. Then, it seems that in 1854 Pope Pius IX revoked all previous indulgences and granted instead:
  • an indulgence of three hundred days every time the prayer is recited, with at least contrite heart and devotion;
  • an indulgence of seven years, once a day, to priests who shall say it after saying Mass, and to the faithful, after receiving holy communion.


The
1968 Enchiridion of Indulgences assigns the a partial indulgence.
