Prayer to Saint Christopher (for drivers)
According to tradition, Saint Christopher carried the Christ Child across a river, hence his name 'Christ-bearer'. He is venerated as the patron saint of travelers, motorists, and ferrymen. This prayer is recited by the faithful to invoke his intercession for safe journeys and protection from accidents and dangers on the road.
O glorious Saint Christopher, you who bore Christ across the waters, protect me and all who travel from all dangers of the road.
Grant me a steady hand, a watchful eye, and a prudent mind, that I may drive safely and responsibly.
Guard me from accidents, injury, and all harm, and bring me safely to my destination.
Through your intercession, may I always travel in safety and arrive in peace.
Amen.
