Prayers to Saint Christopher for Protection

Saint Christopher was a man of great strength who desired to serve the most powerful king. In his search, he ended up helping people cross a dangerous river. One day he carried upon his shoulders a child who became extraordinarily heavy; upon reaching the other shore, the child revealed Himself as Christ, who bore the weight of the world. With one of the oldest and most widespread devotions in Christianity, Saint Christopher was, from the Middle Ages onward, one of the most popular saints in Europe and a powerful intercessor for those undertaking journeys, pilgrimages, or dangerous work. His figure remains a symbol of protection, strength, and trust in God for those who walk along uncertain paths. Prayers to Saint Christopher for Protection brings together prayers inspired by the traditional and historical devotion to this saint, along with a novena to ask protection for ourselves and for our loved ones. With spaces to write down intentions and ancient, traditional images of Saint Christopher, this book is an ideal resource for travelers, drivers, pilgrims, and the faithful who wish to pray with faith before every journey.
