To comfort my friend's Family and in memory of Tadeusz, as we toll the bell to mark the end of his final voyage.
I am proud and honor to know Tadeusz, as we both served aboard the Polish merchant marine ships. It was a great life voyage, and Tadeusz served his watch well. Well done Tadeusz. You have completed your final watch, now rest in peace dear friend.
"The Seaman’s Prayer (Stella Maris):
O Virgin Mother, Star of the Sea, we ask to have this watch with you today. Be with us in all dangers of soul and body in the far-off places and in the calm and heavy seas. Give us strength of body to bear manfully the hardships of the sea, a clear mind and a clean heart to rejoice in its glories.
Stay, Dear Lady, in our fond thoughts in the long night watches and tiring days. Teach us to love Thy Son, Our Savior. Make us able seamen of Him Who loved the sea. Who stilled the tempest and walked on the blue waters.
O Heaven’s Watcher of the sea and skies take care of the loved ones while we are away and guide us safely home."
