Star of the Sea Holy Cards – Restored Stella Maris Holy Card from Argentina – pack of 10/100/1000 #038

Stella Maris, or Star of the Sea, one of the most beautiful names of Mary. Originally used by sailors, it has come to be used by anyone who wants her guidance in navigating the difficulties of this life. Her Feast Day is September 27.

The prayer on the back is by Venantius Honorius Fortunatus (530-609), a late Roman who did the Easter hymn, “Sing my Tongue,” which we still sing on Good Friday.

This card was originally from Argentina, our only card so far from there. It was printed by a huge multi-industrial company. It is a good card for anyone who would like help navigating their way, which is all of us, if we're spiritually aware.

Hail, Star of the Sea!

Blessed Mother of God, ever virgin!

O happy gate of heaven!

Be our safe guide in life!

Confirm us in peace,

loose the chains of our sin,

drive from us all of our evils,

and ask all good things for us.

Show us you are our mother,

and offer our prayers to Him

who was born of thee,

and born for us.

Obtain for us forgiveness.

Make us meek and pure so that

we may be united with thee

in the blissful vision of Jesus. Amen.

Prayer attributed to Venantius Fortunatus (530-609). Stella Maris, or Star of the Sea, is a name for Mary used by sailors and anyone who seeks safe passage. Front: Argentine holy card, early 20th Century.
