Let us pray.

Almighty and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries, with the  spiritual food of the most precious Body and Blood of thy  Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of  thy favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very  members incorporate in the mystical body of thy Son, the  blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs,  through hope, of thy everlasting kingdom. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy  grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do  all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to walk in;  through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the  Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God,  and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the blessing of  God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be  amongst you, and remain with you always. Amen.

The blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and remain with you for ever. Amen.
