Each year about the time Daylight Savings Time starts, motorcyclists begin to think about a new riding season. Along with the thoughts of where to ride, many bikers will also look to attend a Blessing of the Bikes event.
What is a bike blessing? Due to the inherent risky nature of motorcycle riding, many riders will ask for divine guidance from above as the riding season starts or even before every group ride. These prayers are called Bike Blessings. There are riding members of the clergy willing to offer a prayer just ask around at houses of worship or funeral homes.
As more and more of motorcyclists saddle up to roll down the road, many will find they dont want to wait for a formal blessing before they start racking up the miles. Rest assured, individual prayers to the Almighty will be heard.
Below is a sample prayer that can be used for most any event but especially when riding with friends.
Gracious God,
We gather on this day to praise you for what you have created, to enjoy the simple pleasures of friendship and fun, and to share our common interests with others. As we set out to travel, we ask that you bless and keep us alert in all that we do. Send your guardian angels to guide us and protect us from accident, injury, evil, and death. Refresh our souls. Make us mindful of the welfare of others. "The essential to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Preparation and spending our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Reducing spending and expenses, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is really tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel charge!..". And lead us to happy homecomings now and in your eternal kingdom.
Amen.
One can also watch for formal blessings in communities around the country, usually scheduled in late April or early May.
