The priest bows down and receives the Body of Our Lord. He remains in
prayer for a short time. Then he uncovers the chalice and drinks the
Sacred Blood of Our Lord.
THE COMMUNION OF THE PEOPLE
The priest now opens the tabernacle and takes out the Blessed Sacrament
to give holy communion to the people. Turning to the people and holding
the ciborium in his left hand, he lifts up a Sacred Host to the people
in his right hand. Now say with the priest three times:
"Lord, I am not worthy that You should enter my soul; say but the word
and my soul shall be healed."
AFTER THE COMMUNION
Having replaced the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle, the priest
after taking water and wine, covers the chalice and goes to the right
side of the altar to read from the book. Then going back to the middle
he turns to the people and says:
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Then the priest again goes to the right side of the altar and reads:
THE PRAYERS AFTER COMMUNION
*Let us pray: We have been filled with Your gifts, O Lord. Grant that
they may make us clean and strong. May the gift of this divine Sacrament
keep us pure, O Lord.
