Almighty God, our Father, to you we give praise, to you we give honor, to you we give glory, and to you we give thanksgiving, for ever and ever.
We ask that you bless us, individually, and as families gathered here together, ridding us of all our anxieties and miseries.
Almighty God, we return you thanks for all your gifts, especially for preserving us to this moment, and protecting us by your watchful care from so many evils to which we are daily exposed.
Finally, we give thanks for all the worldly possessions you have caused to be showered upon us.
We give thanks for the food of which we are about to partake.
Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we have trusted in you.
In your name we pray,
Amen.
