How to not be Anxious about ‘To Do’ s - Praying the Memorare
The "Memorare" is a popular prayer that is often recited as a form of intercession to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a plea for her assistance and guidance in times of need. Here is the text of the Memorare prayer:
"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 by 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 me. Amen."
The Memorare is a heartfelt prayer that expresses trust in Mary's maternal care and her role as an intercessor before God. It is often recited for various intentions, such as seeking guidance, consolation, or assistance in difficult situations.
When reciting the Memorare, it is customary to focus on Mary's powerful intercession and to approach her with confidence and trust. Many individuals find comfort and strength in turning to Mary as a loving mother who listens to their pleas and presents them to her Son, Jesus Christ.
The Memorare can be prayed privately or in a group setting, and it can be incorporated into personal devotional practices or during times of communal prayer. It serves as a reminder of Mary's role and her willingness to help those who seek her assistance.
