Table Grace (Web of Life): Thanksgiving 2020

This is a simple table grace I’ve been using for the last few years. You can choose one, two, three, or all four stanzas. The leader can say a line and everyone can repeat, or the leader can say the first three lines, and all respond with the fourth.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

Web of Life (Table Grace)

For this breath, for this heartbeat

For this meal with these companions

For the web of life of which we’re part

We give thanks with all our heart.

For sun and rain, for soil and season,

For ocean, mountain, forest, meadow,

For the web of life of which we’re part

We give thanks with all our heart.

For all to whom this food connects us

From field and farm to store and table

For the web of life of which we’re part

We give thanks with all our heart.

For bread and wine upon this table

For this deep mystical communion

For the web of life of which we’re part

We give thanks with all our heart.
