After The Midday Meal
We thank Thee, O Christ our God, that Thou has
filled us with Thine earthly goods; deprive us not
also of Thy Heavenly Kingdom, but as Thou camest in
the midst of Thy disciples, O Savior, and gavest
them peace, come also amongst us and save us.
+ Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the
Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and unto the ages of
ages. Amen.
Lord, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Lord, have
mercy.
[If a priest is present, he saith the blessing
after the meal]
+ Blessed is God Who hath mercy and nourisheth us
from His abundant gifts, by His grace and love for
man, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of
ages. Amen.
[But if there be not priest, say]
+ Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord
Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.
