Memorare

Remember,

most loving Virgin Mary,

never was it heard

that anyone who turned to you for help

was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence,

though burdened by my sins,

I run to you for protection

for you are my mother.

OR

Remember,

O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known

that any one who fled to thy protection,

implored thy help or sought thy intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,

I fly unto thee,

O Virgin of virgins my Mother;

to thee do I come,

before thee I stand,

sinful and sorrowful;

O Mother of thy Word Incarnate,

despise not my petitions,

but in thy clemency hear and answer me.

Amen.
