GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL<br />

after Mass following <strong>the</strong> dis<strong>missal</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

people.<br />

The Concluding Rites<br />

184. Once <strong>the</strong> Prayer after Communion has<br />

been said, <strong>the</strong> deacon makes brief<br />

announcements to <strong>the</strong> people, if indeed<br />

any need to be made, unless <strong>the</strong> priest<br />

prefers to do this himself.<br />

185. If a Prayer over <strong>the</strong> People or a solemn<br />

formula for <strong>the</strong> blessing is used, <strong>the</strong><br />

deacon says: Inclinate vos ad<br />

benedictionem (Bow your heads and<br />

pray for God’s blessing). After <strong>the</strong><br />

priest’s blessing, <strong>the</strong> deacon, with hands<br />

joined and facing <strong>the</strong> people, dismisses<br />

<strong>the</strong>m, saying: Ite, missa est (The Mass<br />

is ended, go in peace).<br />

186. Then, toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong> priest, <strong>the</strong><br />

deacon venerates <strong>the</strong> altar with a kiss,<br />

makes a pr<strong>of</strong>ound bow, and departs in a<br />

manner similar to <strong>the</strong> procession<br />

beforehand.<br />
