Memorare and Hail Holy Queen
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone
who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you,
O virgin of virgins, my mother.
To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in your mercy hear and answer them. Amen.
Hail, Holy Queen
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy!
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope!
To thee do we cry, poor banished
children of Eve,
To thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley, of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us; and
After this our exile show unto us the
blessed fruit of thy womb Jesus;
O clement, O loving, O sweet virgin Mary.
Pray for us, O holy Mother of God
that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen
