Star of the Sea is an ancient title for Mary, emphasizing her role as the hope of a guiding star in the rough waves of this earthy life. Those who live along the coasts all over the world and those who make their living on the sea, such as sailors and fishermen have long looked to Mary, Star of the Sea for guidance and protection. Whether you are a seafarer of not, Our Lady, Star of the Sea or Stella Maris in Latin, is always there to shed light and lead you through life's storms. This poem by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153) sums it up “If the winds of temptation arise; if you are driven upon the rocks of tribulation, look to the star, call on Mary; if you are tossed on the waves of pride, of ambition, of envy, of rivalry, look to the star, call on Mary. Should anger, avarice, or fleshly desire violently assail the frail vessel of your soul, look to the star, call upon Mary.”
Her feast day is September 27.
