 The invocations in the prayer have rich associations with Catholic concepts that relate to the Eucharist (Body and Blood of Christ), Baptism (water) and the Passion of Jesus (Holy Wounds).In the mid-nineteenth century the prayer was translated and published as the English hymn "Soul of my Saviour, sanctify my breast" by Edward Caswall.Since then it has been popular as a communion hymn in Anglican and Catholic communities and has been included in some 43 different hymnals.
