Antiphon and Prayer after Communion
Antiphon
Lk 18: 13
The tax collector stood at a distance, beating his breast and saying:
O God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
Prayer after Communion
May we truly revere, O merciful God,
these holy gifts, by which you ceaselessly nourish us,
and may we always partake of them
with abundant faith in our heart.
Through Christ our Lord.
[The following Prayer over the People for Lenten Masses is optional]
Hold out to your faithful people, Lord,
the right hand of heavenly assistance,
that they may seek you with all their heart
and merit the granting of what they ask.
Through Christ our Lord.
