New Site Announcement: Over the past several years, the METS team has been building a new website and new digital edition, in collaboration with Cast Iron Coding. This next phase of METS' editions includes improved functionality and accessibility, an increased focus on transparency, and conformity to best practices for open access and digital editions, including TEI markup. We are currently in a "soft launch" phase in which we will monitor the new site for bugs and errors. We encourage you to visit our new site at https://metseditions.org, and we welcome feedback here: https://tinyurl.com/bdmfv282

We will continue to publish all new editions in print and online, but our new online editions will include TEI/XML markup and other features. Over the next two years, we will be working on updating our legacy volumes to conform to our new standards.

Our current site will be available for use until mid-December 2024. After that point, users will be redirected to the new site. We encourage you to update bookmarks and syllabuses over the next few months. If you have questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at robbins@ur.rochester.edu.

 Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me
Et non me permittas separari a te.
Ab hoste maligno defende me.
In hora mortis voca me,
Et pone me iuxta te
Ut cum angelis tuis laudem te
In secula seculorum. Amen.

Qui hanc orationem devote dixerit iiim dies veniale possidebit.   		 Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, intoxicate me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ, comfort me.
O good Jesus, hearken to me
And do not allow me to be separated from you.
Defend me from the evil enemy.
Call me at the hour of death,
And set me beside you
So that I may praise you with your angels
Forever and ever. Amen.

The person who pronounces this prayer devoutly for three days will gain forgiveness.
