The Saint Christopher Novena

Day 5: Safety in travel

The fifth day brings the principal petition of the Catholic Saint Christopher devotion: safety in travel.

Travel under protection

From medieval pilgrims to modern motorists, Catholic travelers have invoked Saint Christopher before journeys. The Saint Christopher medal in the car is one of the most widely seen Catholic sacramentals.

Prayer

Saint Christopher, protect me and those who travel today. Watch over our roads, our flights, our journeys. Bring us home safely. Amen.

Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
