MEMORARE…REMEMBER
WORKOUT WEDNESDAY
A Midweek Spiritual
Workout with
Fr. Marino H. Msigala, OFM Capuchin
MEMORARE…REMEMBER
Everyone wants to be remembered. Remember the Blessed Virgin Mary by asking for her help and protection, knowing that anyone who seeks her intercession has never been disappointed. Remember Mary, and she will remember you!
Calling on Mary to remember is an act of boldness, but it is boldness justified by tradition. Mary needs no reminder of her role in the realm of salvation. However, those who call upon her do require such reminders of their place as supplicants before the Virgin Mary.
Asking Mary to intercede as our Advocate before God does not guarantee that a supplicant's specific request will be granted, only that divine aid and assistance in the supplicant's best interest will be given through Mary's help
The Memorare/Remember 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,
we fly unto you,
O Virgin of virgins, our
Mother.
To you do we come,
before you we stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word
Incarnate,
despise not our
petitions,
but in your mercy, hear
and answer us.
Amen.
On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, remember Mary, Virgin, Advocate, Intercessor, Protectress, Mother of God, Mother of us all.
