The Memorare of St. Bernard

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

that never was it known

that any one who fled to thy protection,

implored thy help,

and sought thy intercession,

was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,

I fly unto thee,

O Virgin of virgins, my Mother,

to thee 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.
