Blessing of food before eating |
|
| |
The joys and pains of all living beings
are present in the gift of this food.
We (I) receive this food in love and gratitude.
In mindfulness of our sisters and brothers,
among living beings of every kind
who are hungry or homeless,
sick or injured,
or suffering in any way
We (I) receive this food in love and gratitude.

Blessing of health |
|
| |
May our health be so that our minds be
free.
To experience what this world offers,
to live life with others,
to celebrate happiness and joy,
to be alive.
May our bodies be firm and functional so that our life be free from pain.
GAIA,
CORPUS grant this body a healthy and happy life.
So let it be!
