                                      (The celebrant taking the Sacred Host in his hands, re-
                                      cites in a low voice the following prayer)
                                      O Lord! Let not Your body bring me condemnation / but
                                      rather remission of debts and forgiveness of sins.

                                      (Celebrant receives the Body. He takes chalice saying)
                                      O heavenly groom! You prepared the cup of Your most
                                      Precious Blood for the guests at your banquet.

                                      (Celebrant receives the Blood) You allowed me, sinful as
                                      I am, to partake of that cup. Glory be to You for ever, for
                                      Your ineffable love. Amen.

                               CEL: May the grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ who gives us life, /
                               be  made  perfect  in  us  +  /  through  His  mercy.  (The celebrant
                               blesses the people).

                               ALL:  Always and forever. Amen.

                               SER:  Brothers and Sisters, the holy Church invites You / to re-
                               ceive the Body and Blood of the Son of God / with faith in the
                               heavenly kingdom.

                                      (The celebrant while giving communion says)

                                      May the Body and Blood of Christ be unto the forgive-
                                      ness of sins and eternal life.

                                      (The people receive Holy Communion)


                                      (After the Holy Communion the celebrant says the follow-
                                      ing prayer.)

                               CEL: Christ, our Lord / hope of mankind / let not the holy Body
                               and the precious Blood that we have received / result in our judg-
                               ment and condemnation. Rather, may they obtain for us remis-
                               sion  of  our  debts  /  forgiveness  of  our  sins  /  and  fulfillment  in
                               Your presence. Lord of all, forever. Amen.

                                      (On Sundays and days of commemoration)

                               ALL:  Christ, Our Lord! O Adorable King / You triumphed over
                               death / through Your passion! Son of God, You have promised us
                               a new life / in the Kingdom of heaven! Banish all evil from us.
