Lord God, thank you for this new day and the gift of love and friendship. We pray today for the safety of everyone. In particular, we pray for the safe travel of all, whether by air, sea or land. Send you holy angels to guide and protect them and their journey. May they reach their destination in safety and joy. May they always remember you and thank you for constantly guiding and protecting them from all dangers. We ask all these prayers in Jesus’ name. Amen.


St. Demetrius, pray for us.
