Daily prayers

Prayers at Meals

The graces said before and after eating, as printed among the Daily Prayers of the official Russian Primer of the Holy Synod, in the public-domain English translation of R. W. Blackmore (1845).

Before Dinner

The eyes of all wait upon Thee, O Lord, and Thou givest them their meat in due season: Thou openest Thy hand, and fillest all things living with good.

After Dinner

I thank Thee, O Christ my God, that Thou hast fed me with Thy earthly good things: let it not be with these only, I beseech Thee, but bring me also to Thy heavenly kingdom.
