Honestly more intimidating if you use the proper "Bless us our lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen"
-
Interesting, I learned it as "Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts"
-
I think it's 'O Lord' actually yeah. But definitely not 'and'. Jesus doesn't bless himself!
-
It's asking god to bless the people ("us") and the food ("these thy gifts") that they're about to receive from his bounty via jesus
At least that's how I understood it growing up, but who knows, I was just reciting it by rote as a kid and haven't thought about it in years haha
-
Same. I think your version is the proper one, yeah.
