The Memorare

The Prayer of St. Bernard

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one 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, my Mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful; O Mother of the Word incarnate, do not reject my petition, but graciously hear and grant it. Amen. (An indulgence of 3 years. A plenary indulgence once a month under the usual conditions for the daily recitation of this prayer).
