Saints LightGrace After Meals
The traditional thanksgiving after a meal, with a short prayer for the dead added by long custom. It closes the meal the way grace opened it.
The prayer
We give Thee thanks, Almighty God, for all Thy benefits, who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.
May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
In Latin
Agimus tibi gratias, omnipotens Deus, pro universis beneficiis tuis, qui vivis et regnas in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
