Benedictus benedicat | Be blessed by him who is blessed. |
Oculi omnium in te sperant Domine et tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno. Aperis tu manum tuam et imples omne animal benedictione. |
The eyes of all look to you, O Lord, and you give them their food in due time. You open your hand and fill every living thing with your blessing. |
Benedic Domine, nos et dona tua, qui de tua largitate sumus sumpturi, per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen. |
Bless Lord, us, and these thy gifts, which of thy goodness we are about to enjoy, through Christ our Lord. Amen. |
Quicquid appositum est aut apponetur, Christus benedicere dignetur. In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen | Lord God, This food which is before us and that which is to come, may Christ deign to bless. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. |
