Here are two paraphrases of the Anima Christi that I like a lot...
David Fleming, S.J.
Soul of Christ Prayer
Jesus, may all that is in you flow into me.
May your body and blood be my food and drink.
May your passion and death be my strength and life.
Jesus, with you by my side enough has been given.
May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross.
Let me not run from the love which you offer.
But hold me safe from the forces of evil.
On each of my dyings shed your light and your love.
Keep calling to me until that day comes.
When with our saints, I may praise you forever.
Amen

Joseph Tetlow, S.J.
I Choose to Breathe the Breath of Christ
I choose to breathe the breath of Christ that makes all life holy.
I choose to live the flesh of Christ that outlasts sin's corrosion and decry.
I choose the blood of Christ along my veins and in my hearts that dizzies me with joy.
I choose the living waters flowing from his side to wash clean my own self and the world itself.
I choose the awful agony of Chrsit to charge my senseless sorrows with meaning and to make my pain pregnant with power.
I choose you, good Jesus, you know.
I choose you, good Lord; count me among the victories that you have won in bitter roundedness.
Never number me among those alien to you.
Make me safe from all who seeks to destroy me.
Summon me to come to you.
Stand me solid among angels and saints chanting yes to all you have done, exulting in all you mean to do forever and ever.
The for this time, Father of all, keep me, from the core of my self, choosing Christ in the world.
Amen
