Bless Our Bikes

A friend emailed me about this one - a church that decided to have a Bicycle Blessing ceremony for the cycling community.


The prayers of blessing included:

In a world groaning under the excesses of consumption, we acknowledge the inherent goodness of non-motorized human powered transportation and give thanks for the simple beauty of the bicycle... Bless those who choose to not drive to work and those for whom driving isn’t even an option... Keep us safe as we ride.
God of life, hear our prayer. Amen
