Daily Prayers
Grace After Meals
The traditional Catholic table blessing said at the end of a meal, paired with the Grace Before Meals.
We give thee thanks, almighty God, for all thy benefits,
who livest and reignest, world without end. Amen.
May the souls of the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

About the prayer
Its second half turns the household toward the dead — a reminder, built into the rhythm of ordinary eating, that the table is shared with more than the living.
