Seasonal & Liturgical Prayers
Prayer Before a Journey
The traditional blessing for travellers from the Roman Ritual, prayed before setting out on a long journey or a pilgrimage.
O God, who brought your servant Abraham out of the land of the Chaldeans
and kept him safe in all his wanderings;
who guided the Hebrew people through the desert;
we ask that you watch over us, your servants,
as we set out upon this journey.
Be for us a companion on the road,
a guide at the crossroads,
a refuge in weariness,
a shelter in danger,
and a strength in weakness.
Bring us safely to our destination
and home again in joy;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
