O white lily of purity, sublime example of poverty, true mirror of humility, resplendent star of sanctity!

O glorious St. Anthony who didst enjoy the sweet privilege of receiving into thy arms the Infant Jesus,

I beseech thee to take me under thy powerful protection. 

Thou, in whom the power of working miracles shines forth among the other gifts of god,

have pity upon me and come to my aid in this my great need.

(Make your petition.) 

Cleanse my heart from every disorderly affection; obtain for me a true contrition for my sins,

and a great love of God and of my neighbour that, serving God faithfully in this life,

I may come to praise, enjoy, and bless Him eternally with thee in Paradise

AMEN.

O holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr,

great in virtue and rich in miracles, near kinsman of Jesus Christ,

faithful intercessor of all who invoke your special patronage in time of need,

to you I have recourse form the depth of my heart and humbly beg,

to whom God has given such great power, to come to my assistance.

Help me in my present urgent petition.

In return I promise to make your name known and cause you to be invoked.

(Say three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys and three Glorias.)

St. Jude. Pray for Us and all who invoke your aid.

AMEN

Lord Jesus by faith in your merits,

I now take Your precious Blood and sprinkle it over myself and my family

right from the crown of our head to the very soles of our feet. 

I seek from Thee total and complete protection for my life and my family. 

Lord Jesus keep us free today from evil, sin, temptation, satan’s attacks and afflictions,

fear of darkness, fear of man, sickness, diseases, doubts, anger, all calamities

and from all that is not of Thy Kingdom.

Fill us Lord Jesus with the gift of Your Holy Spirit

and grant us the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, faith, understanding and discernment,

so that we shall live today in Your glory by doing what is right

O Lord, we humbly ask you to give your Almighty protection to all travelers.

Accept our fervent and sincere prayers

that through your great power and unfaltering spirit those who travel

may reach their destination safe and sound.

Grant your divine guidance and infinite wisdom to all who operate automobiles, trains, planes and boats.

Inspire them with due sense of duty and knowledge and

help them guide those entrusted in their care to complete their travel safely.

We thank you, Oh Lord, for your great mercy and unending love to all mankind

and for extending your arm of protection to all travelers. 

AMEN.
