GRACE BEFORE MEALS.

The church has established prayers
V hich should be said before and after
meals. In religious communities these
prayers are always said. and are some
what long. But for the faithful gener-
ally, the church has made them so
short that even the most simple peo-
pie can and should say them always
before and after meals The prayer
before the meal is this: Bless us, O
Lord. and these thy gifts we are about
10 receive through thy most gracious
bounty, through Jesus Christ Our
Lord, Amen" And when the meal is
over we. should say: I'VE thank. thee,
Lord for these. thy gifts. through
Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen
That is not much to ask from any
enc of us for the food that nourishes
our body. And yet how few there are
who ask Gods blessing on the food
they are about to eat or to thank Him
for the victuals they have eaten.
1t seems to me that many a quarrel
and many a complaint made about the
food. or the way it is cooked or served.
would be averted if the blessing of
God had descended upon the eaters
and thsir food before the meal began:
and. again, that better health and
more peace in the family would result
if all. when they got up from the table,
would say, in all sincerity of heart:
I'VE thank thee, Q Lord, for these thy
gifts And they are Gods gifts.
