• ~Hitting the Road Today~

  Say a prayer for me. The baby and I are heading to Cincinnati while Fr. and the boys head to camp. It was no small feat getting 3 boys and a priest packed for  a week at church camp. Target was smiling when we left….4 sleeping bags, 4 laundry bags, 4 hiking boots, 4 raincoats, 4 flashlights, 4 sets of batteries, 4… well you get the idea. All of our stuff is packed away as we wait to move into the house. The house is far from ready but I need a break so I am happy to be going home to see my parents and all my friends. I have never driven 6+ hours by myself; I am getting an early start so that will help.  Pray for our safety and that Maria~Angelica is her normally easy going peaceful little self and that she will sleep for several hours.lol!  Pray for the bus load of children that are heading to camp; they have a 5 hour drive to the mountains. Pray for all the drivers on the road today.

  Prayers Before Travel
  

  Lord Jesus Christ my God, be my Companion, guide and protector during my journey. Keep me from all danger, misfortune and temptation. By Your divine power grant me a peaceful and successful journey and safe arrival. In You I place my hope and trust and You I praise, honor and glorify, together with Your Father and Holy Spirit now and forever and ever. Amen.
  

  Lord Jesus, You traveled with the two disciples after the resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. Travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim on this earth, seeking the citizenship which is in heaven. During my journey surround me with Your holy angels and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Help me to see the beauty of creation and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in all things. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You I give thanks, praise and glory forever. Amen
