Dear Lord, we ask you to take all seafarers into your care and protection. Make them alert and wise in their duties. Help them to be faithful in time of routine, prompt to decide and courageous to act in any time of crisis.
Protect all our seafarers from the dangers and perils of the sea; even in storms, natural or spiritual, grant that there may be peace and calm in their hearts.
When they are far from home, far from their love ones and from their homeland. give them the grace to be certain that wherever they are, they can never be beyond Your loving concern. Take good care of their love ones in the days and weeks and months when they are separated from each other sometimes with half the world between them. Give them the grace to remain true and faithful to each other. And when they have to part, bring them together again in safety and loyalty.
Oh Mother Mary, Star of the Sea, guide us and our beloved seafarers. Through separated often, help us to grow in love of one another and Your Son, Jesus.
Amen.
