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.

 ~ attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th century Cistercian/Trappist Monk

On this SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY, remember Mary, Virgin, Advocate, Intercessor, Protectress, Mother of God, Mother of us all.
