have made us privileged to gather in this sacred house / to wor-
ship You, and to celebrate the divine mysteries. The Father, the
Son, and the Holy Spirit / the Lord of all, forever.

ALL: Amen, bless us O Lord.

CEL: O merciful Christ, we praise You for having sanctified
us / through Your precious Blood. We thank You for having
made us worthy / to listen to Your sacred scripture / and receive
Your precious Body and Blood. Strengthen us to keep holy our
bodies / the temple of the Holy Spirit. O Jesus, who accepted the
Church as Your most chaste spouse / may the entire human race
accept her / as the sacrament of salvation / and become heirs to
eternal life. The Lord of all, forever.

ALL: Amen.

CEL: Let us praise God the Father, who gave His only begotten
Son / for the fulfillment of the promise. Let us worship Jesus /
who accepted the Church as His beloved bride / and who is com-
ing to lead her to the heavenly Jerusalem / during the ends of the
ages. Let us thank the Holy Spirit / who gathered us together in
this house. May the Lord bless you all / to be consumed by the
zeal for the house of God / and to live with holiness and purity /
as the temples of the Holy Spirit. May you all gather at His right
side / when Jesus comes as king and judge. Now, + always and
forever.

ALL: Amen.
