Grace before and after meals

Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintEmail

Instilling a sense of gratitude in our children can be especially hard in a world where many of us have an overabundance of everything. Grace is a good way to remind them (and ourselves!) that everything we have comes ultimately from God.

Here are the prayers:

(Before meals):

Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts,
which we are about to receive from Thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

(After meals):

We give Thee thanks, Almighty God,
for these and all Thy benefits,
Who lives and reigns, world without end. Amen.
