Five, no - three prayers.

Anima Christi

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 Your Wounds, hide me
Separated from You, 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!

Memorarae (Also known as the 9-minute novena!)

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
That never was it known
That anyone who fled to thy protection,
Implored thy help, or sought thine intercession
Was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins,
My mother.
To thee do I come, before thee do I stand,
Sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
Despise not my petitions,
But in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Come, Holy Spirit,
Fill the hearts of Thy faithful
And enkindle in them the fire of Thy LOVE
Send for Thy Spirit,
And they shall be created
And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray
O God, who did instruct the hearts of the faithful
By the Light of the Holy Spirit,
Grant that in that same Spirit
We may be made truly WISE
And ever REJOICE in His Consolation,
Through the same Christ, our Lord -
AMEN!

Mood: Phew. Good.
Music: Appropriately the instrumental version of "Nothing Else Matters"
Or to paraphrase Benedick: Love me, serve God and all shall be well.
