2 Prayers for Travelers by Rev. F.X. Lasance
I
May the Almighty and merciful Lord direct us on our journey; may He make
it prosper and maintain us in peace.
May the Archangel Raphael accompany us along the way, and may we return
to our homes in peace, joy, and health. “Kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Kyrie eleison”
II
O, God Who didst cause the children of Israel to traverse the Red Sea dry
shod; Thou Who didst point out by a star to the Magi the road that led
them to Thee; grant us we beseech Thee, a prosperous journey and
propitious weather; so that, under the guidance of Thy holy angels, we
may safely reach that journey’s end and later the haven of eternal salvation.
Hear, O Lord the prayers of Thy servants. Bless their journeyings. Thou
Who art everywhere present, shower everywhere upon them the effects of
Thy mercy; so that insured by Thy protection against all dangers, they
may return to Thee their thanksgiving. Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
