PRAYERS
STAR OF THE SEA
(from the Urbi et Orbi Blessing - March 27th)
Star of the Sea,
Light Our Way
Star of the Sea so radiant
in the glory of Gods Love,
Your crown outshining all the stars of heaven up above,
O, lovely Queen of Peace,
gowned in azure's of the sea,
Help us find the way to Jesus,
in your wise serenity.
We ask you Pearl of Grace
to grant us vision, courage, will,
So 'peace on earth', that miracle,
at last might be fulfilled!
Dear Mother of the Church,
blessed beacon of God's Light,
May you always guide your children
on the stormy seas of life.
Make our hearts into safe harbors,
where dear Jesus is received
Hear our prayer, O Spiritual Vessel,
Mother of God, Star of the Sea.
