FAMILY PRAYER FOR SEAFARERS

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 the 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 within their hearts. When they are far from home, far from
their loved ones and from their home land, give them the grace
to be quite sure that, wherever they are, they can never be
beyond your loving concern. Take good care of them in the
days and weeks and months when they are separated from us
sometimes with half the world between us. Give us the grace to
be true to them, and keep them true to us. And when we have to
part, bring us together again in safety and loyalty. Oh mother
Mary, star of the sea, guide us and our beloved seafarers.
Though separated from each other, help us grow in love for one
another and your son, Jesus. AMEN.
