Memorare: a powerful prayer of intercession for our Blessed Mother

In honor of the feast of Our Lady of Carmel, I would like to share this very beautiful prayer to our Blessed Mother.

Memorize this by heart and say it with trust.



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.
