THE MEMORARE: Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that it is a thing unheard of that anyone ever had recourse to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, and was left forsaken. Filled therefore with confidence in thy goodness, we fly to thee, O Mother, Virgin of Virgins, to thee do we come, before thee we stand as sorrowful sinners. Despise not our words, O Mother of The Word, but graciously hear and grant our prayer. Amen.
