Blessing of the Bicycles
Posted on June 02nd, 2009 in faith
Let us pray,
Present in a world groaning under the excesses of consumption we acknowledge the inherent goodness of non-motorized human powered transportation and give thanks for the simple beauty of the bicycle. God of life,
Hear our prayer…
May the road rise to meet you….. May the wind be ever at your back. ….May all your journeying be joyous. …. And until we meet again ….may God hold you…. and your bicycles….. in the palm of God’s hand.
Go in peace and safety.
Amen.

Lovely. Not sure about this though: “May the road rise to meet you.” Surely the road should eternally slope gently away from you?
