Pray the Memorare

Join us in praying the Memorare! The Memorare is an ancient prayer, but its devotion became widespread in the 17th century. Its name comes from the prayer's first word, "remember," in Latin.

The Memorare:

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.
