Our Lady & Star of the Sea Patroness of Sailors Invoked against the Stormy Seas of Life
Stella Maris (“The “Star of the Sea”) has long been the favorite title by which people of the sea have called on Her in whose protection they have always trusted: the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her son, Jesus Christ, accompanied His disciples in their vessels, helped them in their work and calmed the storms. And so the Church accompanies seafarers, caring for the special spiritual needs of those who for various reasons live and work in the maritime world. Pope John Paul II

Stella Maris
O 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, in 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?" Bright Star of the Sea, guide us!
Pope John Paul II
I created this special bracelet making honor to Our Lady Star of the Sea Stella Maris- I added a beautiful porcelain cameo and kept the sea theme by making angels with glass shell beads, I also added other sea life charms. Other Catholic medals added to this bracelet
