MemorareThe 'Memorare' is a sixteenth-century versionof a fifteenth- century prayer that began 'Ad sanctitatis tuae pedes, dulcissima Virgo Maria' Claude Bernard (1588 - 1641) popularized the idea that the 'Memorare' was written by Saint Bernard. Remember, most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it heard that anyone who turned to you for help was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, though aware of 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. |
