                               repent. In Your infinite mercy, You enabled us to receive Your
                               precious Body and Blood. Make us worthy to walk in the path of
                               Your commandments / and to enter into the glory of Your king-
                               dom / and to praise You in the company of saints in the heavenly

                               and honor You / through this redemptive sacrifice. Make us, who

                               Blood / partakers in the eternal banquet in Your kingdom. Give
                               us the necessary light / to walk in the path of Your word. May the
                               Lord shower His blessing on us / the whole world / and to the
                               Church  and  her  children.  May  the  grace  of  our  Lord  Jesus
                               Christ / the love of God the Father / and the communion of the
                               Holy Spirit be with you all. Now, + always and forever.
