Through the help of the Blessed Virgin, of St.
Joseph, of Sts. Peter and Paul and all the saints, may it free us from
all evil.
The priest goes back to the middle of the altar and turning to the
people says:
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
Go, the Mass is ended.
Thanks be to God.
THE BLESSING
The priest bows down and says a prayer. Then turning to the people he
blesses them saying:
May almighty God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, bless you. Amen.
The priest goes to the left side of the altar.
Stand
The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.
THE LAST GOSPEL
The priest makes a cross on forehead, lips, and breast, and says the
Gospel of St. John.
Remain standing until the priest has left the sanctuary or kneels down
to say the prayers after Mass.
THE RIGHT MANNER OF CONFESSING
[From Father Finn's Prayer Book for Catholic Youth.]
PRAYER BEFORE EXAMINING YOUR CONSCIENCE
O Holy Spirit, help me to know all my sins. Help me to remember that
Jesus died for me. Help me to make a good confession and I promise that
I will try never to sin again.
Now think of your sins.
PRAYER BEFORE ENTERING THE CONFESSIONAL
O God, I am very sorry for all my sins.
