The Dismissal

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.
