Hi Everyone,

I am looking for a prayer to pray to bring someone home from overseas and/or been away from home to long. Does anyone know of such a prayer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Deedledum
 
It is not necessary to have a formal, written prayer for every occasion. You would not want to fall into the trap of looking at prayer in a magical way. Make your request to God in your own words, asking also the help of the Blessed Mother. Perhaps you could use her title, Star of the Sea, since the people you are praying for are overseas.

Perhaps others know some saints whose intercession is especially appropriate for this intention as well.

I agree with baltobetsy. You could also offer a few rosaries as well.
 
Thank you ladies, I will take your (name removed by moderator)ut to heart. I only asked because some of the prayers are so appropriate in the wording, much better than I could ever come up with. 😊
Of course I do know that God does prefer prayers from the heart too. 🙂
 
A Google search gave me this one. I don’t know where it’s from, but I thought it was very pretty.🙂

O God, Who did cause the children of Israel to traverse the Red Sea dryshod; Thou Who did point out by a star to the Magi the road that led them to Thee; grant us we beseech Thee, a prosperous journey and propitious weather; so that, under the guidance of Thy holy angels we may safely reach that journey’s end, and later the haven of eternal salvation.
Hear, O Lord, the prayers of Thy servants. Bless their journeyings. Thou Who art everywhere present, shower everywhere upon them the effects of Thy mercy; so that, insured by Thy protection against all dangers, they may return to offer Thee their thanksgiving. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
