Grace before meals
Grace before meals ("Benedic, Domine") is one of the oldest prayers of Christian home life.
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts,
which we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Give bread, Lord, to those who hunger,
and hunger for you to those who have bread.
which we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Give bread, Lord, to those who hunger,
and hunger for you to those who have bread.
When to pray
Before each meal, as a family.
