Spare us from past tragedies whose memories are still so vivid and whose wounds seem to refuse to heal with the passing of time.<\/p>\n

O Virgin, Star of the Sea, Our Beloved Mother we ask you to plead with your Son in our behalf, so that spared from the calamities common to this area and animated with a true spirit of gratitude, we will walk in the footsteps of your Divine Son to reach the heavenly Jerusalem where a storm-less eternity awaits us.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

Amen.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nOriginally dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Audrey in 1957. <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n
