After we sit down after Communion the priest will ask us to stand for his blessings. Some announcements might be here, but the deacon or priest will dismiss everyone "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life." In Latin, the priest would have said, "Ite! Missa Est!" (This is where "Mass got the name, 'Mass'".)
The people respond with "Thanks be to God."
Hopefully, you pray this Mass with your heart. When you understand like St. Dominic, and are open for miracles to enter you like Blessed Jean-Joseph Lataste, your prayer will be a constant dialogue like St. Catherine of Siena, and you will love the Mass so much, you will yearn for it with all your being.
