Antiphon and Prayer after Communion
Antiphon
Cf. Lk 1: 78
Through the tender mercy of our God,
the Dawn from on high will visit us.
Prayer after Communion
Having feasted at the banquet of the heavenly Lamb,
we pray, O Lord,
that, finding in the nativity of Saint John the Baptist,
your Church may know as the author of her rebirth
the Christ whose coming John foretold.
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
