On the practice of saying a blessing before a meal.
From the my earliest memory, we have said grace at the table before our family dinners.
It’s a simple blessing, our Catholic grace.
Elise Bauer
That’s our grace.
Simple isn’t it?
Yet whenever I hear it or say it, it means so much more.
For this one simple prayer ties us together through time and distance.
I’m curious to learn of other traditions for saying a mealtime blessing.
A meal blessing doesn’t have to be tied to a religion.
Do you have a tradition of saying a blessing before a meal?
If so, would you c’mon share it with us?
Do you hold hands (we don’t)?
Does one person lead grace, or do people take turns?
Do you recite a standard blessing, or do you improvise?
You are the reason I do this.
