Prayer for Travelers
A safe road under a faithful guide
This prayer accompanies anyone about to leave home, whether for a short trip or a long journey abroad. Saint Anthony of Padua, famed for finding what is lost and for his tireless travels preaching the Gospel, is a natural companion for the road, much as he is invoked in the Prayer for Protection against harm of every kind. Families sending a loved one off, or travelers setting out alone, both find comfort in his care.

When to Pray This
Pray this before setting out on any journey, at the airport, before a long drive, or the night before departure. It is also fitting whenever you are anxious for someone else who is currently traveling.
Benefits of This Prayer
Praying it regularly builds the habit of entrusting the unpredictable parts of travel, delays, unfamiliar roads, distance from home, to God's providence rather than to worry alone. It also strengthens a quiet trust that wherever the road leads, you are not traveling unaccompanied.
