Grace Before Meals

A traditional blessing before eating. Gratitude for a meal can deepen our concern for people who do not have enough food.

Traditional English devotional form

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

Bring it into your day

Thank someone who helped prepare or provide the meal.
