A Merciful Journey: Recollections of a World War II Patrol Boat Man

Product Information

Lord, you are the only refuge and hiding place we know as a family, so please keep her safe. May nothing scare her in Jesus mighty amen, Amen! It is common for people to pray for their loved ones before they travel. It is meant to be a way of providing safety and protection from harm or danger while traveling, especially in an unfamiliar place. The prayers are often specific to the journeyer’s destination, but could also serve to protect them in general. Or are you confident that He will not return you to it once again, and unleash a hurricane against you, and drown you for your ingratitude? Then you will find no helper against Us. They that hunger shall eat and be satisfied, they that seek after the Lord shall praise him; their hearts shall live forever. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Lord, please provide me with traveling mercies and keep me safe from all evil on my journey. Watch over my life and preserve my soul. Be with me from the time I step out the front door and until I return. Both now and forevermore. Amen. To all—these and those—We extend from the gifts of your Lord. The gifts of your Lord are not restricted. He asks for God (not the angel) to accompany Israel—to “go in the midst of us” (Exodus 34:9)—and he refuses to move anywhere without the Lord’s personal presence. Why did Moses take the risk of upsetting God with this response? And why did he think that the original arrangement of angelic guidance would be insufficient? Priest: May the Virgin Mary grant you her maternal protection, defend you in all
dangers of soul and body, and may you merit to arrive safely at the end of your O Lord Jesus Christ, enkindle the hearts of all thy Priests with the fire of zealous love for thee, that they may ever seek thy glory; Give them strength that they may labor unceasingly in thine earthly vineyard for the salvation of our souls and the glory of thine all-honorable and majestic Name: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

In my level two, my level coordinator sent him (my dad) a congratulatory message and he had to look for someone to interpret the message in a language he could understand. Thank you for the blessing of traveling with my friend. Guide us both safely through this difficult time. Amen

Father, I pray that she will not feel alone on this journey. I ask that she will not be scared, but rather, she will always have the assurance of your protection in Jesus’ mighty name. Lord Jesus Christ, you taught us through the Apostle St Paul that here below we have no lasting city and must always seek the heavenly city. Hear our prayers for these pilgrims we commission. May the Holy Spirit breathe his grace into their hearts; may he enliven their faith, strengthen their hope and feed the flame of their love. May they thus make their pilgrimage in the true spirit of penance, sacrifice and expiation. May the same spirit purify their minds from every evil thought. May he defend their hearts and give them the constant help of his protection so that they can reach the objective of their journey safely and by means of this pilgrimage they are now starting merit to come one day to the heavenly Jerusalem. You who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, receive this pouch, habit for your pilgrimage, so that, castigated and corrected, you hasten to prostrate at Saint James’ feet, where you yearn to arrive and, after having completed your journey, you come to us delighted with the help of God, who rules over the world without end.
Amen.

Lord Jesus, I thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for always guarding and protecting me. Thank you for always keeping me safe. Thank you, Lord, for wrapping me in your arms always. Protect her with Your grace and mercy. Guide her with Your wisdom. Inspire her with Your presence. Give her the courage to be bold when she needs to be.See how We have favored some of them over others; yet the Hereafter is greater in ranks, and greater in favors.
