Memoráre Memoráre, O piíssima Virgo María, non esse auditum a sǽculo, quémquam ad tua curréntem præsídia, tua implorántem auxília, tua peténtem suffrágia, esse derelíctum. Ego tali animátus confidéntia, ad te, Virgo Vírginum, Mater, curro, ad te vénio, coram te gemens peccátor assísto. Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despícere; sed áudi propítia et exáudi. Amen. 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 with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins and Mother, to thee do I come; before thee do I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. Prayer to ask for the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, commonly attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1090-1153).
