During his Angelus address this past Sunday, the Holy Father invited the faithful "to pray for the men and women involved in seafaring, and for their families" on World Maritime Day, Thursday, 28 September 2006.Invoking the aid of the Star of the Sea, Pope Benedict XVI prayed that Our Lady "look down in love upon seafarers and their families and upon all those who care for their human and spiritual needs."
Our Lady, Star of the Sea, pray for them!
Here is a prayer you might pray on Thursday:
Hail Star of the Sea!
Hail Lady Mary,our gentle candle in the darkness!
Send us the lightwhen we arefalling into sorrow
when we arecast about by waves of fear
and anger when we are drowning in despair.
O Mother of Holy Hope
renew us with the
child-like trust and joyof your son Jesus.
Amen
