Gracious Lord, may I ever recall that this earthly realm is but a vessel, ferrying me across the vast sea of life towards Your eternal presence. When the waters are calm, let me be filled with gratitude; when they grow tumultuous, may my heart remain steadfast and untroubled. Have mercy, O Lord, on this weary traveler, and grant me the grace and wisdom to endure this swift passage. Humble, charitable, and joyful, let me press onward in my journey heavenward. Amen.
