June's Teaching Moment
Many churches have encouraged the singing or the praying of the Anima Christi, which means Soul of Christ, after receiving the Eucharist to give thanks to God. So let’s take some time to learn about this powerful prayer. In it, we ask Jesus for specific graces to help us get to Heaven. Often credited to St. Ignatius, this prayer dates back to the 14th century and has eleven main petitions asking for Christ’s help. This prayer teaches us to thank God for His sacrifice in the Crucifixion and to reflect on His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. We pray for the grace to stay close to Him, for His protection against the devil, and to call us to be with Him in Heaven. It can also be said upon waking up and before Confession. Here it is:
Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Your wounds hide me
Separated from Thee let me never be
From the evil one protect me
At the hour of my death call me
And close to you, bid me
That with Your saints I may be praising You
Forever and ever
Amen.
Carolina Catholic speaks with Kristi Wells of Safe House Project and how she fights for trafficking victims and their unborn children
For our second show in June, I chat with the founder and CEO of Safe House Project, Kristi Wells, about her article published by Live Action called, "Why I fight for trafficking victims and their unborn children." Her incredible organization founded in 2017, Safe House Project, is a national nonprofit dedicated to ending this crime by providing a network of safe houses for survivors, training thousands in law enforcement, working on policy in the fight against trafficking, and preventing trafficking with advances in technology like the app, Simply Report. In this show, Kristi shares how her organization has served over 5,000 survivors, how Simply Report has helped save many victims by connecting them to immediate support, and how every human person has inherent value and dignity, whether it's the survivor of trafficking or her unborn child. Both lives matter.

Carolina Catholic speaks with Catholic oncologist and author, Dr. Robert Collins
For our first show in June, I chat with Dr. Robert Collins, an oncologist, who recounts his journey to the Catholic faith in his book, You Visited Me: Grace and Healing in the Modern Medical Center. Beginning his medical career as a self-centered, agnostic physician treating those with blood cancers like leukemia, he reveals how his faith unfolded as he increasingly saw God's movement in the lives of his patients and ultimately in his own life; eventually, he came to a deep understanding of medicine as a call to participate in the love of God. His book shares many of his experiences of God's grace and healing in a modern medical center.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of June. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
