Tēnei Taku Poi - Poi Actions

He Karakia Mō Ngā Kai

He Karakia Mō Ngā Kai

E te Atua
Whakapainga ēnei kai
Hei oranga mō ō matou tinana
Whangaia hoki ō matou wairua 
ki te taro o te ora
Ko Ihu Karaiti hoki to matou Ariki
 
Amine

Lord
Bless this food
To strengthen our bodies
To replenish our spirits
And revitalise
In the name of Christ our Lord

Amen
