Prayer to Our Lady for Road Safety
Holy Mother of God, we turn to you for protection. You understood travel when you went to your cousin Elizabeth, and went with Joseph to Egypt with the baby Jesus, when his life was in danger. Listen to our prayers and be a guiding hand to all who are responsible for safety in driving. Save us from every danger and help us and everyone else on our roads to travel with a sense of joy and safety. Amen.
