Antiphon and Prayer after Communion
Antiphon
Mt 5: 3
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Prayer after Communion
Grant us, we pray, O Lord,
through these holy gifts which we have received,
that, imitating the charity and apostolic zeal of Saint Francis,
we may experience the effects of your love
and spread them everywhere for the salvation of all.
Through Christ our Lord.
