Memorare (Salve Regina)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it
known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored
your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of
Virgins, my mother. To you I come; before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and
answer me. Amen.
----------------------Second Variation
Remember, most loving Virgin Mary, never was it heard
that anyone who turned to you for help was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, though burdened by my sins,
I run to your protection for you are my mother.
Mother of the Word of God, do not despise my words of
pleading but be merciful and hear my prayer. Amen.
-----------------------Latin
MEMORARE, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a
saeculo, quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, 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.
