The blessing of a car

Lord God, be well disposed to our prayers,

and bless + this vehicle with your holy hand.

Appoint your holy angels as an escort over it,

who will always shield its passengers a

nd keep them safe from accidents.

And as once by your deacon, Philip,

you bestowed faith and grace upon the Ethiopian seated in his carriage and reading Holy Writ,

so also now show the way of salvation

to your servants,

in order that, strengthened by your grace

and ever intent upon good works,

they may attain,

after all the successes and failures of this life,

the certain happiness of everlasting life;

through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
