Prayer of the airplane traveler

According to the religious traditions of Orthodoxy, every business is supposed to begin with prayer. Travel is no exception, and so many prayers were made for this occasion. The prayer of a traveling person can be addressed both to God himself and to various saints. In this article, we will look at some typical examples of Orthodox prayer prayers intended for those who decided to set out on their journey. Particular attention we will focus on prayers for air travel as one of the most popular modes of transport in demand these days, but at the same time one of the most dangerous.

Prayer of the airplane traveler

The text of this prayer we will give in Russian translation for better understanding it. Church Slavonic variant, if you want to get acquainted with it, you need to look in prayer books, which are offered in church shops. The prayer of a traveler on an airplane is addressed to Christ and it sounds like this:

"The Lord Jesus Christ, our God, who controls the elements and in his hand concentrated power over everything!" You are honored by the abyss and you rejoice in the stars, and the whole creation serves you. "All of you obey and obey your will.

Brief prayers for those who are traveling to the Lord and the saints

The next prayer of the traveler is called a troparion, and in churches it is sung at prayer services dedicated to those who are going on the road or are already in it.

"You are the way and the truth, Christ!" In the companions of your angel to your servants today, as in Tobiah's time, they came down for preservation. "And harmless to your glory from all evil in well-being, observe the same philanthropist with the prayers of the Mother of God!"

Kontakion:

"Luke and Cleopas to Emmaus accompanied, Savior, accompany and now your servants, to travel to those who want to, from all kinds of unpleasant circumstances, for everything is possible to you, if that be your will."

Prayer to Christ

Another prayer of the traveler, addressed to Jesus Christ. This text is also considered the main one and is intended for reading before the road in general, without reference to the form of transport.

Prayer to the Theotokos

"Blessed mistress, Virgin Mother of God, gave birth to God for our salvation and received her grace more than any other people, who showed a sea of divine gifts and a full-flowing river of miracles, shedding goodness on all who use faith in you!" Before you, we pray to you, The most generous mother of the philanthropic ruler, so that you may surprise us with your rich favors, and our requests that we bring to you, Skoropuslushnitsa, you soon performed, each giving what is in his favor, in comfort and in salvation, helpful.
