Ante cibum
Oculi omnium in te sperant, Domine
et tu das escam illis in tempore.
Aperis tu manum tuam
et imples omne animal benedictione.
Gloria Patri, et Filio et Spiritui Sancto,
sicut erat in principio, numc est, et erit in saecula saeculorum.
Benedic, Domine, nos et dona tua, quae de largitate tua sumus sumpturi;
et concede ut illis salubriter nutriti tibi debitum obsequium
praestare valeamus, per Christum Dominum Nostrum.
Ante cibum (short)
Benedictus benedicat.
Post cibum
Benedicto benedicatur.
Ante cibum
The eyes of all wait upon thee, O Lord, and thou givest them meat in due season.
Thou openest thine hand and fillest every living thing with blessing. Glory be to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
is now and ever shall be.
Bless, O Lord, us and thy gifts, which through thy goodness we are about to receive;
and grant that being by them healthfully nourished, we may be enabled to show our bounden duty toward
thee, through Christ our Lord.
Ante cibum (short)
May the Blessed One give a blessing.
Post cibum
Let praise be given to the Blessed One, or
Let a blessing be given by the Blessed One.
