Our Lady Star of the Sea, Stella Maris or Mary or Star of the Sea has become a much loved title and devotion especially in many Catholic coastal communities.
As the Mother of Jesus, Mary was His precious guide and constant companion. As our Mother she is also our guide.Just as the constellations guided the seafarer in times past, safely back home, and the Christmas star led the magi to the Christ Child, so too does Mary, as a star, guide us all gently to her Son our Savior, to a place where the storms of life can not destroy us.
