Latin Beer Blessing

This almost makes me wish I was Catholic. It's a beer blessing from the Rituale Romanum (no 58). A friend showed it to me, and I thought it worth passing on, first in Latin then in English. The photo is one I took this fall and just really enjoy. Cheers!

Benedic, 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

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.
