The Memorare
	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 The Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy clemency hear and answer me. Amen.

 

Memorare, o piisima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia esse derelicta. Nos tali animati confidentia ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, currimus; ad te venimus; coram te gementes peccatores assistimus. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba nostra despicere, sed audi propitia et exaudi. Amen. [EWTN on-line, http://www.ewtn.com/library/PRAYER/LATROSAR.TXT]

 

The Memorare

 

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 The Word Incarnate,

 

despise not my petitions,

 

but in thy clemency

 

hear and answer me.

 

Amen.
