Antiphon and Prayer after Communion
Antiphon
Cf. Ps 84 (83): 4-5
The sparrow finds a home,
and the swallow a nest for her young:
by your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are they who dwell in your house,
for ever singing your praise.
Or: Jn 6: 57
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
remains in me and I in him, says the Lord.
Prayer after Communion
Having consumed these gifts, we pray, O Lord,
that, by our participation in this mystery,
its saving effects upon us may grow.
Through Christ our Lord.
