Memoráre, o píisima Virgo María,
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
non esse audítum a sæculo, quemquam ad tua curréntem præsídia,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
tua implorántem auxília, tua peténtem suffrágia esse derelíctum.
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided.
Ego tali animátus confidéntia ad te, Virgo Vírginum, Mater, curro;
Inspired with this confidence, we fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins and Mother;
ad te vénio; coram te gemens peccátor assísto.
to thee do we come; before thee do we stand, sinful and sorrowful;
Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despícere,
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions,
sed audi propítia et exáudi. Amen.
but in thy mercy hear and answer us. Amen
