BEFORE THE MIDDAY MEAL
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 debts as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
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. (3x)
If a priest is present, he saith the blessing:
O Christ our God, bless the food and drink of Thy servants, for Thou art holy, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
But if there be no priest, say: Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.
AFTER THE MIDDAY MEAL
We thank Thee, O Christ our God, that Thou hast 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 Saviour, 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. (3x)
If a priest is present, he saith the blessing:
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 no priest, say: Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us. Amen.
