336 Syro-Malabar Holy Mass in English
ALL: Lord our God, we commend ourselves to You.

CEL: Jesus Christ, the promise of prophets / and the fulfillment
of the old covenant / bless us to receive You in the company of
saints / when You come with sign of Your cross / seated on the
clouds of heaven / with all Your angels. Make us, who actively
participate in Your paschal mystery, / heirs to Your heavenly
kingdom. The Lord of all, forever.

ALL: Amen
