Gaze upon this radiant Catholic art print of Stella Maris and trust in Our Lady's guidance through troubling waters. Devotion to Mary, Star of the Sea, is an ancient practice and title, especially by those who lived and worked on the sea. During the Middle Ages, the North Star was called Stella Maris. The North Star remains fixed and was relied on by sailors for navigation. We can look to Mary the firm fixture in our lives as our protector who calms our storms and the guiding light that leads us to her Son in heaven.
 
St. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote, “If the winds of temptation arise; If you are driven upon the rocks of tribulation look to the star, call on Mary; If you are tossed upon the waves of pride, of ambition, of envy, of rivalry, look to the star, call on Mary. Should anger, or avarice, or fleshly desire violently assail the frail vessel of your soul, look at the star, call upon Mary.”
