GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL
153. After the Lord’s Prayer is concluded, the
priest alone, with hands extended, says
the embolism Libera nos (Deliver us).
At the end, the people make the
acclamation, Quia tuum est regnum (For
the kingdom).
154. Then the priest, with hands extended,
says aloud the prayer: Domine Iesu
Christe, qui dixisti (Lord Jesus Christ,
you said). After this prayer is concluded,
extending and then joining his hands, he
gives the greeting of peace while facing
the people and saying: Pax Domini sit
simper vobiscum (The peace of the Lord
be with you always). The people
answer: Et cum spiritu tuo (And also
with you). Afterwards, when appropriate,
the priest adds: Offerte vobis pacem
(Let us offer each other the sign of
peace).
The priest may give the Sign of Peace to
the ministers but always remains
within the sanctuary, so as not to disturb
the celebration. He may do the same if,
for a good reason, he wishes to offer the
sign of peace to a few of the faithful. At
the same time, all offer one another a
sign that expresses peace, communion,
and charity. While the Sign of Peace is
being given, one may say: Pex Domini
