Small Catechism for Memorizing - Trinity XI (August 3)

How should Christians return thanks after a meal?
 
Also, after eating, they shall, in like manner, reverently and with folded hands say:
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever. He gives food to every creature. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call. His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor His delight in the legs of a man; the Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love. (Psalm 136:1, 25; 147:9-11)


Then shall be said the Lord’s Prayer and the following:
We thank You, Lord God, heavenly Father, for all Your benefits, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
