Okay kiddo, so have you ever heard someone say a special prayer before they eat their food? Well, that prayer is called a benedicite.
It's a fancy word that comes from a Latin phrase which means "to bless." Basically, when we say benedicite, we're asking for a blessing on the food we're about to eat.
But benedicite isn't just about asking for a blessing. It's also a way for us to be grateful for the food we have. You see, not everyone has access to food like we do. So by saying benedicite, we're saying thank you for the food we have and recognizing how lucky we are to have it.
It's important to remember to be grateful and appreciate the things we have, including the food on our plates. So the next time you're about to eat, don't forget to say a benedicite and be thankful for the delicious meal in front of you!
