[Fr. Frank]

O God of boundless love, at the beginning of creation your spirit hovered over the waters of the deep. You called forth every creature and the seas teamed with life. Your son Jesus calmed the Sea of Galilee, brought his disciples to safety in their boat upon the sea, and filled the nets of his disciples who fished from boats. He has given us the rich harvest of salvation. Bless our SeaCraft boats, the equipment upon them, and all who depend upon them and who would use them for livelihood and for pleasure. Protect us and our passengers and our beloved SeaCrafts from the dangers of wind and rain and of the perils of the deep. Bring us all in safety to the harbor of light and peace. May the saving power of our Lord guide and protect us all. In the name of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
