Let us pray

“Mary, Star of the Sea, light of every ocean, guide seafarers across all dark and stormy seas that they may reach the haven of peace and light prepared in Him who calmed the sea.

As we set forth upon the oceans of the world and cross the deserts of our time, show us, O Mary, the fruit of your womb, for without your Son we are lost.

Pray that we will never fail on life’s journey, that in heart and mind, word, and deed, in days of turmoil and in days of calm, we will always look to Christ and say, ‘Who is this that even wind and sea obey him?’

Our Lady of Peace, pray for us. Bright Star of the Sea, guide us! Our Lady, Star of the Sea, pray for seafarers, pray for us.”

-The Prayer of Saint Pope John Paul II to Our Lady Star of the Sea, Apostleship of the Sea.

“Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.”

- Psalm 42:7, ESV
