The priest's words indicate that proper preparation is required so that the faithful proceed to Holy Communion. With fear of God (i.e. with a deep respect for Him), faith and love the faithful are invited to partake of the Lord's Body and Blood, which is administered to them with the Holy Spoon, a symbol of the pair of tongs used by the seraph in prophet Isaiah's vision. 'Faith' is the first step towards a life in Jesus. The 'fear of God' exists in human soul when all earthly care is laid aside. 'Love' is a firm decision to give a part of our existence (and not only our alms) to our fellow humans.

And when the people have received communion, they express this direct liturgical experience they had by means of a joyful hymn. The community has celebrated a festival, so its members leap for joy for what they have experienced. It has been a liturgical experience par excellence; the faithful have seen the true Light; they have received the Heavenly Spirit; and they have found the true Faith, by worshipping the undivided Trinity who has saved them.

Finally, the priest raises in a crosswise movement the Holy Gifts over the faithful and blesses God. This gesture signifies Christ's Ascension. At the time of the Ascension, Christ promised that He will always be with humans and will send them the Holy Spirit. This promise is repeated and renewed over the course of the Divine Liturgy.

Thus, the faithful leave the church, their souls being full of Grace and full of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
