The 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 by 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.

nár chualathas trácht ar éinne riamh
a chuir é féin faoi do choimirce,
a d’iarr cabhair ort ná tairbhe d’idirghuí is gur theip tú air.
Lán de mhuinín asat, dá bhrí sin,
rithimse chugat,
a Mhaighdean na maighdean is a Mháthair.
Is chugatsa a thagaim,
Os do chomhair a sheasaim,
I mo pheacach bocht atuirseach.
A Mháthair an Aonmhic,
Ná diúltaigh do m’urnaí,
Ach éist liom go trócaireach agus tabhair toradh ar mo ghuí.
Áiméan.
