Do you say grace? When?  email this discussion to a friend?

I tried to say grace since I converted into Catholic. But I don't think I'm religious enough to say grace like before I went to sleep, after I wake up every morning, when I got good news, etc. I just forgot it. This is dilemma because I'm a Catholic and I think being a good Catholic I should say grace. But I'm more like a free-thinker inside. Of course I believe in God, that's why I'm a Catholic now. But I just thought that God will know that deep inside my heart I never forget him. My brother is also a free-thinker, he is more spiritual but not into any specific religion. He told me that it's not necessary to say grace in front of other people, I mean like being so expressive. Grace, praying are human's way to communicate between men and God, just the 2 of us. So he doesn't think it's people perform such things in front of other people.
For me, I don't think that what I'm doing now is wrong because I feel like I still feel not that far to God. But above all, I tried to remind myself to say grace at least before I went to sleep every night and after I wake up every morning.

I was born and raised a Catholic going to a Catholic school for many years. I had their religion crammed down my thraot for too long. I do not say what is commonely know to as "grace" but I do thank my higher power for the foods I have and all. I also pray thanking him nightly for keeping me sober and every morning I ask my Higher Power for his guidance in helping me stay sober throughout the day. Thanks for a great discussion also.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Thanks for sharing. Usually I do the same but I forgot sometimes to do the night and morning pray. But I always thank Him inside my heart at anytime I felt blessed and lucky.

I was raised Catholic, and we were taught to say our prayers all the time. My family was big on grace at meals and praying before we went to bed, and, of course, Mass every Sunday.

I'm not religious now, but I think if I was, I would be more like your brother. Even just a quick thought of "thank you" to God would probably be enough.

my mom raised us catholic, even if my father is well, a non believer. sunday mass, grace before meals, guardian angel prayer before sleeping, the 6 o'clock prayer, rosary, etc. but i do remember she told me that the sign of the cross is a form of prayer already, because you are calling out to god and recognizing his "almighty power".
