The Memorare
A powerful prayer to Mary — 'never was it known that anyone who fled to thee was left unaided.'
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by 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 mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
When to Pray
When you need Mary's help urgently, in hard times, when you don't know what else to pray.
