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 by this confidence,
I fly unto 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.

Offering you in Mass on 12-12-10, 12-13-10 & during Holy Adoration

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,

Ancient Prayer to the Virgin

We turn to you for protection,
holy Mother of God.
Listen to our prayers
and help us in our needs.
Save us from every danger,
glorious and blessed Virgin.
