Prayer to Saint Christopher for Travelers

Grant me, O Lord, a steady hand and watchful eye, that no one shall be hurt as I pass by.

Thou gavest life, I pray no act of mine may take away or mar that gift of Thine.

Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company from the evils of fire and all calamity.

Teach me to use my car for others’ need; nor miss through love of undue speed the beauty of the world, that thus I may with joy and courtesy go on my way.

St. Christopher, holy patron of travelers, protect me and lead me safely to my destiny. Amen.
