Our Lady Star of the Sea Chaplet Prayer

For Special Needs:
Our Lady Star of the Sea, Stella Maris, is the patroness of the men who sail the seas. Saint Bonaventure reminds us that she also "guides to a landfall in heaven those who navigate the sea of this world in the ship of innocence or penance." Ships at sea might be guided by the North Star. Our Lady, Star of the Sea, aids not only the sailors aboard those ships, she also aids all those who sail the stormy seas of life.

The Medal Prayer:
Most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendour of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in this my necessity. O Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein that you are my Mother. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart, to succour me in this necessity; there are none that can withstand your power.

First Three Beads:
Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
One each of the three beads for Bishop Warren Boudreaux, Pope John Paul II and John Paul Finke.

On each of the 12 beads which represent the 12 stars on Our Lady's Crown, Pray:
One Hail Mary on each bead and the followed by the invocation:
Our Lady, Star of the Sea, help and protect us!
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hand.
