The Memorare

¹Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,

²that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,

³implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.

⁴Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother;

⁵to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

⁶O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,

⁷but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
