The priest goes back to the middle of the altar and turning to the
people says:

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.

Go, the Mass is ended.
Thanks be to God.


THE BLESSING

The priest bows down and says a prayer. Then turning to the people he
blesses them saying:

May almighty God, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, bless you. Amen.

The priest goes to the left side of the altar.

Stand

The Lord be with you.
And with your spirit.


THE LAST GOSPEL

The priest makes a cross on forehead, lips, and breast, and says the
Gospel of St. John.
