Memorare (Remember, O Most Gracious Virgin Mary) is a Roman Catholic prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary.〔''Catholic Prayerbook: From Downside Abbey'' by David Foster 2001 ISBN 0-567-08669-0 page 153〕 Memorare, from the Latin "Remember", is frequently misattributed to the 12th-century Cistercian monk Saint Bernard of Clairvaux, apparently due to confusion with its 17th-century popularizer, Father Claude Bernard, who stated that he learned it from his own father. It first appears as part of a longer 15th-century prayer, "Ad sanctitatis tuae pedes, dulcissima Virgo Maria." ==Modern version== An English version of the prayer is: :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 do 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. Another version latterly used by the congregation was: :Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, :That it is a thing unheard of :That anyone ever had recourse to thy protection, :Implored thy help or sought thy intercession, :And was left forsaken. :Filled therefore with confidence in thy goodness, :We fly to thee, O Mother, Virgin of Virgins, :To thee do we come, :Before thee we stand as sorrowful sinners. :Despise not our words, O Mother of The Word, :But graciously hear and grant our prayer. :Amen 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Memorare」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
