"Our Lady of the Highways"
Eerily, the song begins on the road from D.C. to Phillie, on a moonlit snowy night... just like tonight

(4,734 posts)As I type, I am sitting in a bargain motel next to I90 across the interstate from the Erie casino. I travelled up from 60 miles south to meet an old flame from the 90's, who stood me up today.
Think there might be a song in there? LOL

(4,033 posts)but every year my 85 year old mother enrolls me in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Auto League and she gives me a card with the attached prayer which I leave in my car.
Driver's Prayer
Sacred Heart of Jesus, grant me
a steady hand and watchful eye,
that none be hurt as I pass by.
Thou givest life. I pray no act of mine
take away or mar that gift Divine.
Protect those, Lord, who travel with me
from highway dangers and all anxiety.
Teach me to use my car for others' needs
and never miss the beauty of Thy
world through excessive speed.
I pledge to drive with loving concern
to my every destination,
offering each travel hour to Thee
in a spirit of reparation.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
my auto Companion,
have mercy on me.

Not an overly religious Catholic myself, but I do like these things.
