4 CONCLUDING RITE 60 How does the Holy Mass conclude? With the blessing, that the priest imparts, invoking the Most Holy Trinity upon all those who participated in the Holy Mass. The dismissal, invites everyone to witness in their live to what they have celebrated in Church. The Mass is a reminder of the missio, the mission that is to be fulfilled in the world and for the world. “The dismissal at the end of each Mass is a charge given to Christians, inviting them to work for the spread of the Gospel and the imbuing of society with Christian values” (JOHN PAUL II, Mane Nobiscum Domine, 24). At the same time the dismissal at the conclusion of the Holy Mass announces, reminds us and urges us not to forget about that encounter that will take place at the end of time, at which the Lord awaits all of us: the eschatological banquet in heaven, for which the Eucharist is a sign, anticipation and pledge. May almighty God bless you the Father 29 Blessing and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 183
