Prayer Before and After Lunch

Before lunch In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. After lunch We thank Thee, Christ our God, that Thou hast satisfied us with Thy earthly gifts; deprive us not of Thy heavenly kingdom, but as Thou camest among Thy disciples and gavest them peace, come to us also and save us. Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.
