Prayer after Communion (Oratio post communion) - In the Mass, preceded by the adoration of Communion, thanks to the priest's prayer, recited from the altar or from the presidency, ending the Communion rites. It belongs to the presidential prayers, recited in the name of the whole liturgical assembly and "gathers" all private prayers of thanksgiving to the faithful. In this prayer, the priest asks for the fruit of the celebrated mystery, and the faithful answer "Amen," thus recognizing it as his (General Introduction to the Roman Missal). At every Mass there is only one prayer after Communion. Most of the prayers after Communion come from the ancient sacramentals and the congregational Missal.
