Bless, O Lord,
this creature beer, that Thou hast been pleased to
bring forth from the sweetness of the grain: that it might be a
salutary remedy for the human race: and grant by the invocation of Thy
holy name, that, whosoever drinks of it may obtain health of body and a
sure safeguard for the soul. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
(Translation by Fr. Ephraem Chifley, O.P.)
Bene+dic, Domine,
creaturam istam cerevisae, quam ex adipe frumenti
producere dignatus es: ut sit remedium salutare humano generi: et
praesta per invocationem nominis tui sancti, ut, quicumque ex ea
biberint, sanitatem corporis, et animae tutelam percipiant. Per
Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen
