Prayer for motorcyclists

Ad van Tiel collects everything that has to do with motorcycles and fits into an album. His collection also contains some surprising items, such as this prayer picture:

PRAYER
for car and motorcycle drivers

Almighty and all-good God, You have given life to
my fellow human beings and me.

I hope not to endager this precious gift by
drunkenness, recklessness or haste

Therefore, O Lord, give me a steady hand and
a watchful eye, lest anyone be injured
or killed by my guilt or carelessness.

And You, who has our fate in your hands, also
take care that no others are causing an accident
to my traveling companions or me.

Finally, let me always think of a good
and final journey to You, my merciful and loving-
full Father. Amen.

Our Dear Lady of Hanswijk
Show that You are our Mother.
