MEMORARE


Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria,

non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia,

tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia,

esse derelictum.


Ego tali animatus confidentia,

ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater,

curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto.


Noli, Mater Verbi,

verba mea despicere;

sed audi propitia et exaudi.

Amen

MEMORARE


Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.  


Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;
to you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.


O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
