Pilgrims' Prayer
This weekend (May 17-20), a group of young adults are heading to Grand Manan for a pilgrimage, hosted by the local parish. Please remember the pilgrims on their journey, the host parish and leaders — Kurt Schmidt, Alan Hall, and the Rev David Smith, in prayer. All-powerful God, you always show mercy toward those whom you love and you are never far away from those who seek you. Be with your servants on this pilgrimage and guide their way in accord with your will. Be a companion for them along their journey, a guide at crossroads, strength in their weariness, defense before dangers, shelter on the way, shade against the heat, light in the darkness, a comforter in their discouragements, and firmness in their intentions, so that, through your guidance, they might arrive unscathed at the end of their journey and, enriched with graces and virtues, they might return safely home; through Jesus Christ Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. |
