Memorare

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, 

that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, 

implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. 

Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; 

to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. 

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, 

but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
