Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...

And as long as I'm just sayin'...

... I'll say this:

124. Then the priest, with hands outstretched, greets the people:
The Lord be with you.
They answer: And also with you.
The priest immediately adds:
May almighty God bless you and, as he blesses with the sign of the cross, continues:
in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
All answer: Amen.
On certain days and occasions another, more solemn form of blessing or the prayer over the people precedes this form of blessing as the rubrics direct.
Immediately after the blessing, with hands joined, the the deacon (or priest) sings or says:
Go in the peace of Christ, or:
Go in peace to love and serve the Lord, or:
The Mass is ended, go in peace, and the people answer:
Thanks be to God.
