We give you thanks for the blessings of family
and friends: both those gathered around this table
and those who are present in our hearts.
We give you thanks for this food, prepared by
loving hands, and for the graces you provide
to nourish our bodies, minds and hearts so that
we might better serve you.
Help us to be faithful stewards of all that has been
given to us. May we reflect that which we have
received to all we meet, especially the less fortunate
in our midst.
