PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION When everyone has received communion, the priest will return to his chair and pray quietly for a few minutes. The choir may sing a song at this time. The priest then stands and prays the Prayer after Communion. During this prayer we pray that we can take what we have received during Mass with us as we return to our daily lives. We also pray that we can use this to make a difference in our world.
