Motorist Prayer

Lord grant me a steady hand and a watchful eye.

That no man my be hurt when I pass by.

Thou gravest life, I pray no act of mine may take away or mar that act of Thine.

Shelter those, dear Lord, who bear me company, from evil of fire and all calamity; 

Teach me to use my car for others need nor miss through love of speed the beauty of this world; that thus I may with joy and courtesy go happily life's way.

And reach without mishap―eternal day. 

St. Christopher, Pray for us.
