Other Dismissal Formulas
In 2008 alternative dismissal formulas were approved for Mass of the Roman Rite:
- "Ite ad Evangelium Domini nuntiandum" (Go and announce the Gospel of the Lord)
- "Ite in pace, glorificando vita vestra Dominum" (Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life)
- "Ite in pace" (Go in peace)
In each case the response is "Deo gratias" (Thanks be to God).
The dismissal formulas in other liturgical rites are:
- Ambrosian Rite: "Procedamus in pace" (Let us go in peace). Response: "In nomine Christi" (In the name of Christ).
- Mozarabic Rite: "Solemnia completa sunt in nomine D. N. I. C: votum nostrum sit acceptum cum pace" (The celebration is completed in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ; may our prayer be accepted with peace). Response: "Deo gratias" (Thanks be to God).
- Apostolic Constitutions: "Go in peace."
- Antiochene, Alexandrian and Byzantine liturgies: "Let us go forth in peace" (said by the deacon). Response: "In the name of the Lord." Then the priest says a short "prayer of dismissal".

Famous quotes containing the word formulas:
“That’s the great danger of sectarian opinions, they always accept the formulas of past events as useful for the measurement of future events and they never are, if you have high standards of accuracy.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
