Prayer to St. Christopher
Dear Saint, you have inherited
a beautiful name
~ Christopher ~
as a result of a wonderful
legend that while carrying
people across
a raging stream you also
carried the Child Jesus.
Teach us to be true
Christbearers to those
who do not know Him.
Protect all drivers
who often transport
those who bear
Christ within them.
~
Amen.
