Post-Communion<\/h5>\n

The Post-Communion is the final chant of the Mass<\/a>, followed only by the formal dismissal. It begins with an ancient salutation formula, a short exchange of phrases between celebrant<\/a> and choir before the celebrant intones the body of the prayer in an austere recitational style akin to that employed for the Collect prayer.<\/p>\n

In almost all Masses, the text of the Post-Communion, which is Proper<\/a> to the occasion, refers back to the Communion itself, and specifically to the communion of the congregation \u2013 even when, as in the 15th century, congregational communion was rare. The Post-Communion is both a prayer of thanksgiving for participation in the mystery of the Eucharist<\/a> and a petition to God for access to the heavenly kingdom. In Post-Communion prayers for saints\u2019 feasts, the honored saint is usually referenced in the same manner that St. Donatian<\/a> is here \u2013 with the addition of the phrase \u201cintercedente beato Donatiano\u201d or \u201cthrough the intercession of St. Donatian\u201d before the request for God\u2019s grace.<\/p>\n
