Lord, who called Your servant Abraham out of the town of Ur in Chaldea, and who watched over him during his wanderings; who guided the Jewish people through the desert: I ask You to watch over Your present servant, who for love of Your name is making a pilgrimage from Assisi to Rome, following in the footsteps of St Francis:
Be for me
A companion on my
journey
My guide at
crossroads
My strength for
when I grow weary
My fortress in
danger
My resource in
my wanderings
My shade in the
day’s heat
The light in my
darkness
A consolation when
I am low in spirits
And the power
behind my intention
So that I,
under Your guidance, safely and unhurt, may reach the end of my journey, and
strengthened with gratitude and power, secure and filled with happiness, may
find my way home.
Through Jesus
Christ my Lord,
Amen.
