Prayer After Communion
We thank You, holy Father, for Your holy name
which You caused to tabernacle in our hearts,
and for the knowledge and faith and immortality,
which You made known to us through Jesus Your Servant;
to You be the glory forever.
Remember, Lord, Your Church,
to deliver it from all evil and to make it perfect in Your love,
and gather it from the four winds,
sanctified for Your kingdom which You have prepared for it;
for Yours is the power and the glory forever.
