Rh AT THE BREAKING OF THE HOST.

HY body was broken, and thy blood was shed for us; grant that the commemoration of this holy mystery may obtain for us peace; and that those who receive it may ﬁnd everlasting rest.

 AT THE AGNUS DEI.

AMB of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takesh away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

 AFTER THE AGNUS DEI, SAY:

n saying to thy apostles, my peace I leave you, my peace I give you, thou hast promised, O Lord, to all thy Church, that peace which the world cannot give—peace with thee, and peace with ourselves.

Let nothing, O Lord, ever interrupt this holy peace; let nothing separate us from thee, to whom we heartily desire to be united through this blessed Sacrament of peace and reconciliation. Let this food of angels strengthen us in every Christian duty, so as never more to yield under temptation, or fall into our common weaknesses.
