THE POST-COMMUNION - The priest at the Epistle side recites the Post-communion for the Mass
being celebrated. The two post communion prayers change from day to day as do the communion prayers. The Latin derivation of the phrase "Ite missa est" denotes that we are sent on our mission to spread the Gospel, as Christ instructed His apostles before the ascension.

• The priest returns to the middle, kisses the altar, and turning
toward the people says:

P: Dominus vobiscum.                             P: The Lord be with you.

S: Et cum spiritu tuo.                               S: And with thy spirit.

P: Ite, missa est.                                    P: Go, the mass is ended.

S: Deo gratias.                                        S: Thanks be to God.

The priest bows over the altar and recites the following prayer which is known as the "Placeat", which summarizes the intention of the entire mass.


P:  Placeat tibi sancta           		P:  May the lowly homage of my 

Trinitas,  obsequium              		service be pleasing to Thee,  

servitutis meae;  et praesta,     		O most holy Trinity:  and do 

ut sacrificium,  quod oculis      		Thou grant that the sacrifice 

tuae majestatis indignus          		which I,  all unworthy,  have 

obtuli,  tibi sit acceptabile,    		offered up in the sight of Thy 

mihique et omnibus,  pro          		majesty, may be acceptable to 

quibus illud obtuli,  sit,  te    		Thee, and, because of Thy 

miserante,  propitiabile.  Per    		loving kindness,  may avail to 

Christum Dominum nostrum.         	atone to Thee for myself and 

Amen.                             		for all those for whom I have 

                                  		offered it up.  Through Christ 

                                  		our Lord.  Amen.
