Gracious God, heavenly Father, I thank Thee with my whole heart, that
Thou hast in safety brought me to my journey's end, and that to my joy,
Thy holy angels have led me back to my family. As a Father Thou hast also
kept me from all evil, prevented robbers and murderers from killing me,
wild beasts from tearing me to pieces, floods of water and other perils
from destroying or injuring me. Thou hast led me in safety as the angel
Raphael led the young Tobias. All this I owe to Thy paternal care and
almighty protection. In mercy keep me and mine, take us under Thy mighty
protection, and by Thy power preserve body and soul unto eternal life for
Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.
