Prayer
Motorist's Prayer — St. Christopher
I am a Catholic, in case of accident
please call a priest.
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 travellers,
Protect me and lead me safely
to my destiny.
