If there is no celebration of the Eucharist, the service continues with the Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
|
Our Father in heaven,

The Celebrant then says
All praise and thanks to you, most merciful Father, for adopting us as your own children, for incorporating us into your holy Church, and for making us worthy to share in the inheritance of the saints in light; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Alms may be received and presented, and other prayers may be added, concluding with this prayer
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom every family in heaven and earth is named, grant you to be strengthened with might by his Holy Spirit, that, Christ dwelling in your hearts by faith, you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Amen.
