Here’s our suggestion for a blessing to share with friends and family this year:
May we consider this food and the hands that have carried it to us today. Let us honor the bounty the earth has given, by using the nourishment it brings us to feed our own soul’s purpose. As we share this meal together, may we contemplate the beauty of this moment: when what was once separate and scattered throughout becomes a part of each of us. May it remind us of all we have in common. We share this meal in gratitude and with humility, remembering so many who are lacking, in body or spirit, the blessings we now celebrate.
