It may be that the Chaplet of Our Lady Star of the Sea is a relatively new devotion of prayers. However, referencing Mary, the Mother of God, as “Star of the Sea” is a tradition that can be documented as dating as far back as the 800s AD. Our Lady of Mount Carmel, the Patroness of the Carmelite Order, is also referred to as “Stella Maris” or “Our Lady, Star of the Sea.”
For centuries, Our Lady, Star of the Sea has been a guiding light of hope to those that sail the seven seas. She can also be a guiding light to Christ for us as we struggle with the storms of life.
