Memorare is a sacred Catholic prayer seeking the assistance of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a sixteenth-century version and part of a 15th-century prayer – “Ad sanctitatis tuae pedes, dulcissima Virgo Maria“. It is often misattributed to Saint Bernard of Clairvaux.

Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by 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, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
