    Honestly more intimidating if you use the proper “Bless us our lord for these thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord, Amen”

        I think it’s ‘O Lord’ actually yeah. But definitely not ‘and’. Jesus doesn’t bless himself!

          It’s asking god to bless the people (“us”) and the food (“these thy gifts”) that they’re about to receive from his bounty via jesus

          At least that’s how I understood it growing up, but who knows, I was just reciting it by rote as a kid and haven’t thought about it in years haha
