St Brendan demonstrates to us that when we travel with God, we travel without fear. God, make me brave enough to pursue even the stormy seas that will allow me to follow and serve you.
Meditations for Each Day, pg. 191, The Refuge of Sinners
Mary is called the Star of the Sea because, even as sailors are guided into port by means of a star, so Christians are guided towards Heaven by means of Mary. This absolute guarantee of the protection of our heavenly Mother should increase our trust and lead us in every difficulty and temptation. It should not however, result in an unhealthy attitude of spiritual inactivity. That would be the height of filial ingratitude.
Scripture Readings for Day 16 of Learning to Trust
Joel 3: 1-2 (2:28-29 in protestant bible) * It shall come to pass I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. 2Even upon your male and female servants, in those days, I will pour out my spirit.
Isaiah 40:28-29 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is God from of old, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny. 29 He gives power to the faint, abundant strength to the weak.
