Today in all military bases and in parishes with connections to the sea, the feast of Our Lady Star of the Sea was celebrated.

She is our way into port in stormy waters and our harbour wall in distress;  the guiding light that shines to navigate our way to salvation offered by her son.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Bring us dear mother to your son.
