31 AUGUST 2014 22ND ORDINARY SUNDAY
To be a Christ-centred family that loves and
serves one another with joy and humility
OUR LADY STAR OF THE SEA
Our Heavenly Mother has many titles. Some were due to her apparitions eg. Our Lady of Lourdes, Our Lady of
Fatima, Our Lady of Gaudalupe etc. Others were due to icons of her that were painted by inspired devotees eg.
Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, Our Lady of Czestocowa etc. Some came directly from Sacred Scriptures eg. the
Annunciation, the Visitation etc. or implied from the Bible eg. Our Lady of Sorrows etc. A few were instituted due to
teachings of the Church eg. Immaculate Conception, Assumption, Mother of God, Our Lady of the Rosary etc.
Yet, some titles of our Mother came from hymns and Our Lady Star of the Sea is one of them originating from Ave
Maris Stella (Hail Thou Star of Ocean). Indeed, many church musicians have commented that this is most
probably the earliest Marian hymn of the Latin church. It seems to have been written in the 9th Century AD.
Its epithet Maris Stella or Stella Maris has appealed to many who prayed for safe and smooth voyages when
travelling across oceans in ships. This ascription seems to occur first in this hymn which has 7 stanzas the last of
which ends with a doxology to the Blessed Trinity.
While many are travelling by air these days, we can still invoke Our Lady Star of the Sea for a safe journey since
many air routes criss-cross the seas as 2/3 of the earth are covered with water.
Our Lady Star of the Sea, pray for us!

NCC REFLECTION
Each individual layman must stand before the world as a witness to the resurrection and life of the Lord Jesus
and a symbol of the living God. All the laity as a community and each one according to his ability must
nourish the world with spiritual fruits. They must diffuse in the world that spirit which animates the poor, the
meek, the peace makers; whom the Lord in the Gospel proclaimed as blessed. In a word, "Christians must be to
the world what the soul is to the body."
Dogmatic Constitution on the Church. Lumen Gentium 38
EVANGELII GAUDIUM
The Joy of the Gospel
- Pope Francis -
#37 Saint Thomas Aquinas taught that the Church’s moral teaching has its own “hierarchy”, in the virtues and in the acts which proceed from them. What counts above all else is “faith working through love” (Gal 5:6). Works of love directed to one’s neighbour are the most perfect external manifestation of the interior grace of the Spirit: “The foundation of the New Law is in the grace of the Holy Spirit, who is manifested in the faith which works through love”.
