Dear Saint, you have inherited a beautiful name – Christ-bearer - as a result of a wonderful legend that while carrying people across a raging stream you also carried the Child Jesus.  Teach us to be true Christ-bearers to those who do not know Him.  Protect all drivers who often transport those who bear Christ within them.  Amen.
