Memorare


Benedetto, seminarian in the Saint James Vicariate, composed the music for this song in honor of the Virgin Mary, which was sung for the first time during the celebration of the 130th anniversary since the death of Marie-Alphonse Ratisbonne, founder of the Congregation of Sion, during which Brother Tiago made his final profession.

Words:

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided.

Inspired with this confidence,
I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother,
to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary.
