Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that
followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12)

Beannaigh sinn, a Thiarna,
agus na bhranntanis seo uait,
a bhfuilimid le glacadh
ó do rath, trí Chríost ár dTiarna.
Amen.
Bless us, O Lord,
and these thy gifts
which we are about to receive
from thy bounty through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Bail na gcúig arán agus an dá iasc,
A roinn Dia ar an gcúig mhíle duine,
Rath ón Rí a rinne an roinn
Go dtige ar ár gcuid is as ár gcomhroinn.
The blessing of the 5 loaves and 2 fishes
that God shared with the 5000,
the bounty of the King who made the sharing
come upon our food and all who share it.
Beannaigh sinne, a Dhia.
Beannaigh ár mbia agus ár ndeoch.
ós tú a cheannaigh sinn go daor
Agus a shaor sinn ó olc,
Mar a thug tú an chuid seo dúinn
Go dtuga tú dúinn ár gcuid den ghlóir shíoraí.
Bless us, O God.
Bless our food and our drink.
Since you redeemed us so dearly
and delivered us from evil,
as you gave us a share in this food
so may you give us a share in eternal life.
