Holy Mary, Star of the Sea, is called upon to grant the church joy in rediscovering its primary vocation as an envoy to spread the gospel to the whole world, just as Mary did in presenting Jesus Christ to the shepherds, Simeon, and the Magi. Mary is asked to kindle in Christians the same missionary fire that drove her to bear the light of Christ throughout Palestine, making them feel a yearning to spread the gospel to multitudes who have yet to know Christ.
