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.
