Prayers before and after the meals

Prayers before and after the meals

God, our Creator, is always providing for all our needs. It is right to pray to Him before and after the meal, to thank Him for His blessings and to ask Him to bless all our brothers on earth.

THE BLESSING BEFORE MEALS:

Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty, and give bread to those who have none. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

GRACE AFTER MEALS:

We give Thee thanks, O Almighty God, for these and all Thy benefits, who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.

  • Let us bless the Lord.
    Thanks be to God.
  • May the souls of the faithful departed,
    Through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

Preparatory Prayer

O Jesus! We are going to walk with You on the road to Calvary which was so painful for You. Make us understand the greatness of Your sufferings, touch our hearts with tender compassion at the sight of Your torments, in order to increase in us the regret of our faults and the love we wish to have for You.
Deign to apply to all of us the infinite merits of Your Passion, and in memory of Your sorrows, show mercy to the souls in Purgatory, especially to those who are most abandoned.
O Divine Mary, who first taught us to make the Way of the Cross, obtain for us the grace to follow Jesus with the sentiments Your Heart was filled with as You accompanied Him on the road to Calvary. Grant that we may weep with You, and that we may love Your divine Son as You do. We ask this in the name of His adorable Heart. Amen.
