Latin Gratitude Grace Prayer - Bless Us O Lord Coaster

My father was a Latin teacher and he taught us as kids to say the Grace Before Meals in Latin. Here is the first line. It translates literally to "Bless us O Lord, and These Thy Gifts." This ancient prayer is a beautiful thing to know by heart which is a big reason I wanted to paint it. If you have it before your eyes -- on a mug, say, or a clock -- you will learn it the way I did! And it reminds us to feel gratitude for all our blessings. I have to say I had a lot of fun with this, with the bright colours. When I transferred it to the computer all I did was clean it up a bit in places where I had been a bit reckless. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you for visiting -- and God bless you wherever you are. Benedic, Domine, nos!
