Lord, Ruler over waves and sea, keep your blessed hand over all seafarers. Give me the strength to lead a Christian life aboard our ship. I do not want to disappoint anyone who may expect help from me aboard. Keep my family at home in your care. Even when far away from them for long, let me always be attached to them. Help me and all seafarers to keep on the right course always, and to reach the safe port of heaven. Amen

O God, I ask you to take me into your care and protection along with all those who sail in ships. Make me alert and wise in my duties. Make me faithful in the time of routine, and prompt to decide and courageous to act in any time of crisis. Protect me in the dangers and the perils of the sea; and even in the storm grant that there may be peace and calm within my heart. When I am far from home and far from loved ones and far from the country which I know, help me to be quite sure that, wherever I am, I can never drift beyond your love and care. Take care of my loved ones in the days and weeks and months when I am separated from them, some times with half the world between them and me. Keep me true to them and keep them true to me, and every time that we have to part, bring us together in safety and in loyalty again. This I ask for your love's sake. Amen.

Our Lady Star of the Sea Through you came the light of the world You cared for the Son of God Now all God's children are your charge To those who are in distress You provide a beacon of hope If we wander from our faith You guide us back to our true course In dark times we pray to you Everlasting light of our lives Blessed Virgin, chosen by God. Our Lady Star of the Sea. Pray for us. Amen

O Jesus, Who hast said, ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you, through the intercession of Mary, Thy Most Holy Mother, I knock, I seek, I ask that my prayer be granted. (request) O Jesus, who hast said, all that you ask of the Father in My name, He will grant you through the intercession of Mary, Thy Most Holy Mother, I humbly and urgently ask Thy Father in Thy name that my prayer be granted. (request) O Jesus, who has said, "heaven and earth shall pass away but My word shall not pass", through the intercession of Mary, Thy Most Holy Mother, I feel confident that my prayer will be granted. (request)

Bless, O lord all who sail in ships: preserve them for yourself; bless all who serve them, and lead us all into your Kingdom, through Jesus Christ. Our Lord. Amen.

Watch dear Lord, over those who wake or work or weep tonight, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, O Lord Christ: rest your weary ones; bless your dying ones: pity your afflicted ones; shield your joyous ones. And do all this for your love's sake. Amen
