WHY PRAY BEFORE MEALS with Fr. Jerry Orbos, SVD

Praying before meals serves as a beautiful reminder of our interconnectedness with the world around us. It's a moment to pause, express gratitude not just for the food on our plates, but for the entire chain of individuals involved in bringing it to us - the diligent hands of farmers, fishermen and countless others who prepare and serve the meal. Praying before meals is a humble recognition of the interconnectedness of our lives, and profound appreciation of the abundance we often take for granted.
