Why Do People Say Grace Before A Meal?

A simple definition of grace would be an expression of gratitude, as the word grace derives from the Latin phrase "gratiarum actio," which literally translates to "act of thanks." When we say grace before our meals, we are, among other things, reminding ourselves that it was God, and not our credit cards, who made it possible for us to eat.

Feel free to make it completely your own, and customize each prayer to fit the requirements of the event and the people who will be attending.
