What is Mary Star of the Sea?
Mary, Star of the Sea (Stella Maris), is one of the most beautiful and ancient titles given to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This title comes from the Latin "Stella Maris" and has been used by sailors and travelers for centuries as they looked to the stars for guidance across the vast and dangerous seas.
Just as the North Star guides sailors safely to their destination, Mary serves as our guiding star, leading us through the turbulent waters of life to the safe harbor of God\'s love. She never fails to guide us home to her Son, Jesus Christ, and her light remains constant even in the darkest storms of life.
Through this novena, we honor Mary as our Star of the Sea and seek her powerful intercession to guide us through life\'s journey, protect us from harm, console us in sorrow, and lead us safely to the eternal shores of God\'s kingdom.
