PALLOTTINE POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
It is our faith that we are truly children of God, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ; for Christ is our first-born brother with whom together we are God’s adopted children. We shall, therefore, enjoy the same eternal heritage as our divine Redeemer and first-born brother, Jesus Christ. Our eternal, infinite, immense and incomprehensible heritage is God, God entirely, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

St Vincent Pallotti, pray for us.
Mary, Mother of Divine Love, pray for us.
