MARY, STAR OF THE SEA,
PRAY FOR US.
It's time for the Holy Father's Prayer Intention for the Month of August.
The life of sailors or fishermen and their families is very difficult. Sometimes they are victims of forced labor or are left behind in distant ports. The competition of industrial fishing and the problem of pollution make their work even more complicated. Without people of the sea, many parts of the world would starve.
Let us pray for all those who work and live from the sea, among them sailors, fishermen and their families.
We also remember all those who minister to seafarers. For Anne and all chaplains who work with Apostleship of the Sea, a world-wide agency that provides pastoral care to "seafarers, fishers and many other 'people of the sea' and their families".
POPE SAINT SIXTUS II AND HIS COMPANIONS,
SAINT CAJETAN,
PRAY FOR US.
