Antiphon and Prayer after Communion
Antiphon
Cf. Mt 16: 24
Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself,
take up his cross, and follow me, says the Lord.
Prayer after Communion
O God, who in Saint John
have wonderfully made known the mystery of the Cross,
graciously grant
that, drawing strength from this sacrifice,
we may cling faithfully to Christ
and labor in the Church for the salvation of all.
Through Christ our Lord.
