May the Almighty and merciful Lord direct us on the road of peace and
prosperity, and may the Angel Raphael be our companion on our journey; so that
we may return to our home and loved ones with peace, refreshment, and all joy.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us.
Let us pray: O God, Who led the children of Israel safely through the Red Sea,
and guided the Wise Men by a star to the Savior; grant us we implore You, safe
journey and favorable weather; so that, under the guidance of Your Holy Angels,
we may safely reach our destination and, in due time, the gate of eternal
salvation. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
St. Christopher, patron on travelers, pray for us, and protect us from evil.
