Prayer for Pilgrims - Traditional

Lord, bless all pilgrims who journey
to holy places seeking You.
Guide their steps,
protect their path,
and open their hearts to Your presence.
May their journey outward
become a journey inward,
drawing them closer to You.
Grant them safe travel and sacred encounters,
and bring them home renewed in faith.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
