Antiphon and Prayer after Communion
Antiphon
Jn 3: 17
God did not send his Son into the world
to judge the world,
but that the world might be saved through him.
Prayer after Communion
May your heavenly gifts, O Lord, we pray,
which you bestow as a heavenly remedy on your people,
not bring judgment to those who receive them.
Through Christ our Lord.
[The following Prayer over the People for Lenten Masses is optional]
May your servants be shielded, O Lord,
by the protection of your loving-kindness,
that, doing what is good in this world,
they may reach you, their highest good.
Through Christ our Lord.
