MEMORARE
[Ⱥ] 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 to 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 clemency, | hear and answer me. | Amen.
PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL
[Ⱥ] St Michael Archangel, | defend us in the hour of conflict, | be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. | May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, | and do you, O prince of the heavenly host, | by the power of God, | cast Satan down to hell | and with him all the wicked spirits that prowl around the world for the ruin of souls. | Amen.
[℣] May the divine assistance remain always with us, [℟] and may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
