OH GOD, I depend on you. I have no power of my own. When things are going well for me, I know they have come from you and that I have no power of my own. In my trials I rely on you. In my temptations I trust in you. My success is in your hands and so is my life. I have no power of my own. Oh God, I cannot do without you. Save me from all evil and guide my going out and coming in , now and forever more. And so lord Jesus, I present before you this (mention), I humbly and sincerely ask you to bless and sanctity this (mention). Bless those who out of their bounty provided this (mention) bless their good intentions. Favour them in all ramifications of life. Be by their side to guide them, behind them to support and protect them, before them to lead and direct them and above them to bless and enrich them with your Abrahamic blessings. Bless also those who will join me in partaking of this bounteous gift. Transform this gift received out of your bounty into a healing substance. As I partake of this gift, may it bring healing and rejuvenation to those who are sick, comfort to the sorrowful, fruitfulness to the barren and healing mercy to the sick. To all who join me in partaking of this gift, nourish their lives with your heavenly food, and to my loved ones far away, please send your blessings upon them, Lord we pray. And help us all to live our days with thankful hearts and loving ways. And so in union with all the Angels and Saints and in union with my brothers and sisters here present before your Holy altar, we ask you, “Bless us, O Lord, and bless those who, through your bounty have provided these gifts which we have received out of your kindness, Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
