Prayer for Travelers

Troparion, ch. 2: You are the Way and the Truth, O Christ; send now Your angel to Your servants, that He may accompany them as He once did to Tobit, guarding them from all evil and preserving them in health and prosperity for Your glory, through the prayers of the Mother of God, O Man‑loving One.

Kontakion, ch. 2: You escorted Luke and Cleopas to Emmaus, O Savior; now travel with Your servants who are about to set out, turning away from them all evil obstacles, for You, O Man‑loving One, can do all that You will.

Theotokion, ch. 2: O Theotokos, above all understanding and most glorious of Your mysteries; sealed with purity and preserving virginity, You appeared as the true Mother who bore the True God. Pray to Him that our souls may be saved.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ our God, true and living Way, You chose to travel with the named father Joseph and with Your Immaculate Mother to Egypt and to journey with Luke and Cleopas to Emmaus! And now in humility we pray to You, Most Holy Ruler, that by Your grace you may travel with these Your servants. Send, as to Your servant Tobit, a guardian angel and guide, that he may preserve and deliver them from all visible and invisible evil obstacles and enemies, and, in fulfillment of Your commandments, instruct them, lead them in peace and health, and bring them back whole and unharmed, and grant them all good intentions happily to the delight of You and for Your glory. For You alone have power to have mercy and save us, and we give You glory together with Your Eternal Father and with the Holy, Good and Life‑giving Holy Spirit, now, always, and forever and ever. Amen.

On the journey, first invoke the aid of your guardian angels, the Archangel Raphael, the saints whose names you bear, Saint Nicholas and the Great Martyr Barbara.
