The Memorare

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary,
that never was it known in any age,
that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought the intercession, was abandoned.

Inspired with confidence therefore I fly to thee,
O virgin of virgins, my Mother,
to thee do I come, before thee I stand
sinful and sorrowful;

do not, O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise my prayers,
but graciously hear and grant them. Amen.
