A prayer for our Saint Lawrence pilgrims
(Deacon Tim, Shirley Molitor, Jim White, Maureen White)
as they travel to visit our sister-parish in Laborde, Haiti.
Lord Jesus,
we entrust our friends and fellow parishioners
into your strong and compassionate hands.
Lead them on this journey of faith.
Open their eyes and hearts to praise you in all your creatures.
Let them experience your goodness in the hospitality their will receive.
Help them to both give and receive the Good News of salvation
as they meet new friends, your disciples in Haiti.
Keep them safe and inspire them to be courteous toward all.
As you guided Abraham and Sarah when they left their own land,
protect our friends.
Walk by their side and help them each day.
Be their companion and strength on the road
and their refuge in any adversity.
After you have blessed them (and our sister-parish),
bring them safely and happily home.
We thank you and bless you. Amen.
