Took a photo of sunset yesterday evening; and got up at 5 a.m., to-day for sunrise. Don't quite know how the photos will appear. Couldn't wait for the full sunrise because it came to 5.55 a.m., and I like to be present for Lauds and Mass at 6. Anyway! The following is a Prayer for Travellers from a Jewish Prayer Book which I have been using these days:
May the God who called our Father Abraham
to journey into the unknown,
and guarded him and blessed him,
protect me too and bless my journey.
May his confidence support me,
may his Spirit be with me on the way,
and may he lead me back to my home in peace.
Those I love, I commend to his care.
He is with them, I shall not fear.
As for myself,
may his presence be my companion,
so that blessing may come to me
and to everyone I meet.
Blessed are you, Lord,
whose presence travels with his people.
