The Dismissal is marked by the priest’s three-fold blessing, referring to the provisions received by the faithful through the Communion for their spiritual journey.
This blessing emphasizes the early Church's custom of all present receiving Communion and reflects the Church's desire today for the same practice.
Only through participation in Communion can the full riches of grace offered by the Qurbana take effect in the lives of the faithful.
The prayers of both priest and people are interdependent, reflecting their shared faith and hope.
