Lord Jesus Christ,
As this pilgrimage comes to an end,
I give thanks for the journey and for my safe arrival.
Help me to walk in newness of life.
By your Spirit, transform me into your likeness.
Give me your… [here mention any attributes of Jesus you want to grow in, such as humility, compassion, etc.]
Jesus, fill me with your life and love.
I ask this in your Holy Name.
Amen.

Thanks be to thee, my Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits thou hast given me,
for all the pains and insults thou hast borne for me.
O most merciful redeemer, friend and brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly, day by day.
Amen
Lord Jesus Christ,
By your Passion and Resurrection you obtained for me
the power to strip away the old self and to step into new life.
As I cross the threshold of this holy place,
I leave behind… [mention anything you want to leave behind]
Show me your mercy, and
may (name of the saint of the shrine) come to my aid.
I ask this in your Holy Name.
Amen.
