The Memorare in Latin

The Memorare is a classic prayer addressed to the Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church that asks for Mary's intercession and aid. This prayer is attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, but it is more likely a traditional prayer of unknown origin.

Memorare in Latin

Memorare, O piissima Virgo Maria,

Non esse auditum a saeculo,

Quemquam ad tua currentempraesidia, tua implorantem auxilia, tua petentem suffragia, esse derelictum.

Ego tali animatus confidentia, ad te, Virgo Virginum,

Mater, curro, ad te venio,

Coram te gemens peccator assisto.

Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere;

Sed audi propitia et exaudi.

Amen.
