For safe travels
O my Guardian Angel, please intercede with the Lord to bless the journey I am about to embark on, so that it may contribute to the well-being of my spirit and body. Grant me a safe arrival at my destination, and upon my return, may I find my family in good health. Protect, lead, and keep us safe.
