4. la benedicció de la taula

Notes: The standard grace I grew up with was "Blessusolordanthesethygiftswhichwearaboutreceivefromthybountythruchristarlordamen." Responding to a request to say grace with "Grace!" was frowned upon, as was Dad's occasional suggestion of "Grace in kitchen / Grace in the hall / For gracious sakes / don't eat it all!"

There wasn't a whole lot of active Catholicism going on in my family outside of the standard sacraments and major holidays. What little prayers and religious texts I did get exposed to mostly came from this version of the catechism.

The only grace I remember is "Heer, zegen ons en ook deze spijzen, die uwe milde hand ons geeft. Door Christus onze Heer. Amen." And yes, it's all one word, just like yours.

Skimming through that catechism, I realized I can still recite the rhyming version of the ten commandments. It took me years to realize onkuisheid didn't mean failing to clean your house...

Your standard grace did seem to be the "normal" Catholic ritual where I came from too, recited just as you put it as one long (and cynical me would argue meaningless) word. Our household never used it. When we said grace (which was usually only on more formal Sunday meals or other major events) my Dad would normally make up something short but a bit tailored to the occasion.

Not "Good food, good meat, good God, let's eat?"
