You need to know The Memorare, the prayer to The Blessed Virgin Mary, if you are looking for help. Indeed you’re in the right place, because I can help you and show you how to pray it step by step. For this reason, keep on reading!
Why to pray The Memorare
The Memorare to The Blessed Virgin Mary is one of the best known of all the Marian prayers. Most importantly it’s considered one of the most powerful prayers at all.
I guess that you heard that St. Bernard of Clairvaux were the author of this prayer in the XII century, but while you can find some words in his writings, he probably did not compose it.
This opinion spreaded because another Bernard, the poor priest Father Claude Bernard widely spreaded this prayer to Holy Mother in the XVII century: his father taught him indeed but Father Claude Bernard really trusted The Memorare because he got well after a deathly illness where he prayed it.
Moreover, this prayer had appeared for the first time in the XV century prayer “Ad sanctitatis tuae pedes, dulcissima Virgo Maria”.
The Memorare is a Heaven-Opener to grant graces
People praying the The Memorare got lots of Graces and Miracles, hence the prayer became extremely popular. Furthermore Pope Pius IX indulgenced it by in 1846, in other words praying it grants the forgiveness of sins.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta loved this prayer: she was not only used to often pray it but she he taught it to lot of people and for this reasons, during years, she got news of thousands of Graces.
As a result it is a miraculous and powerful prayer, hence lots call it Heaven-opener: indeed, if you need Mary’s help, pray The Memorare!

Latin
The name “Memorare” comes from the first word in the original Latin version and it means “Remember“: the Latin version sounds musical, indeed!
Memoráre,
o piissima Virgo Maria,
non esse auditum a saéculo
quémquam ad tua curréntem praesídia,
tua implorántem auxilla,
tua peténtem suffrágia,
esse derelictum.
Ego, tali animátus confidentia,
ad te, Virgo virginum, Mater,
curro, ad te venio, coram te,
gemens peccátor, adsisto.
Noli, Mater Verbi,
verba mea despicere,
sed audi propitia et exáudi.
Amen
Arabic
It’s very difficult to find an Arabic version of The Memorare. Consider this one too!
تذكر ، يا مريم العذراء الكريمة ،
أنه لم يكن معروفًا أبدًا أن أي شخص هرب لحمايتك ،
طلب مساعدتك ، أو طلب شفاعتك ،
تُرك دون مساعدة.
مستوحاة من هذه الثقة ،
أطير إليك ، يا عذراء العذارى ، أمي. 60- إليك أتيت ، أمامك أقف ، خاطئًا وحزينًا.
يا أم الكلمة المتجسدة ،
لا تحتقرى التماساتى ،
ولكن برحمتك اسمعنى وأجبنى.
آمين.
Chinese
This is the simplified Chinese version of The Memorare to The Blessed Virgin Mary but you can use the traditional one too.
吁！至仁慈的童贞玛利亚，请垂念：从未有人向你求保护、求救援、求转达，而未得到所求的。
吁！童身之圣童身者，我们母亲，我怀着这依恃的心，投奔于你。我虽有罪，但我现在忏悔，俯伏于你台前。
吁！降生的圣言之母，别拒绝我的请求，但求你仁慈地俯听我。阿们。
French
French version sounds great too.
Souvenez-vous, ô très miséricordieuse
Vierge Marie, qu’on n’a jamais entendu dire
qu’aucun de ceux qui avaient eu recours à
votre protection, imploré votre assistance,
réclamé votre secours, ait été abandonné.
Animé d’une pareille confiance, ô Vierge
des vierges, ô ma Mère, je cours vers vous
et, gémissant sous le poids de mes péchés, je
me prosterne à vos pieds.
Ô Mère du Verbe,
ne méprisez pas mes prières, mais accueillez-
les favorablement et daignez les exaucer.
Amen.
German
A strong version, indeed!
Gedenke, o gütigste Jungfrau Maria, es ist noch nie gehört worden, dass jemand, der zu dir seine Zuflucht nahm, deinen Beistand anrief und um deine Fürbitte flehte, von dir verlassen worden ist.
Von diesem Vertrauen beseelt, nehme ich meine Zuflucht zu dir, o Jungfrau der Jungfrauen, meine Mutter, zu dir komme ich, vor dir stehe ich als ein sündiger Mensch.
O Mutter des ewigen Wortes, verschmähe nicht meine Worte, sondern höre sie gnädig an und erhöre mich! Amen.
Hindi
What a fascinating version of The Memorare!
याद कर, हे परम दयालु कुँवारी मरियम, कि यह कभी सुनने में नहीं आया
कि कोई तेरी मदद माँगने और तेरी विन्तियों की सहायता खोजने तेरे पास आया
और तुझसे असहाय छोड़ा गया हो।
हे कुँवारियों की कुँवारी, हे मेरी माँ, इसी आसरे से मैं तेरे पास दौड़ आता हूँ,
और कराहते हुए पापी के रूप में तेरे सामने खड़ा हूँ।
हे खीस्त की माँ, मेरी विनती अस्वीकार मत कर, पर दया से उसको सुन और पूरा कर।
आमेन।
Italian
This version of The Memorare to The Blessed Virgin mary is nice but in Italy you often find this one too.
Ricordati, o piissima Vergine Maria, non essersi mai udito al mondo che alcuno abbia ricorso al tuo patrocinio, implorato il tuo aiuto, chiesto la tua protezione e sia stato abbandonato.
Animato da tale confidenza, a te ricorro, o Madre, Vergine delle Vergini, a te vengo e, peccatore contrito, innanzi a te mi prostro.
Non volere, o Madre del Verbo, disprezzare le mie preghiere, ma ascoltami propizia ed esaudiscimi. Amen.
Polish
The Memorare in Polish!
Pomnij, o Najświętsza Panno Maryjo,
że nigdy nie słyszano,
abyś opuściła tego,
kto się do Ciebie ucieka,
Twej pomocy wzywa,
Ciebie o przyczynę prosi.
Tą ufnością ożywiony, do Ciebie,
o Panno nad pannami i Matko,
biegnę, do Ciebie przychodzę,
przed Tobą jako grzesznik płaczący staję.
O Matko Słowa,
racz nie gardzić słowami moimi,
ale usłysz je łaskawie i wysłuchaj.
Amen.
Portuguese
What an happy version!
Lembrai-vos, ó puríssima Virgem Maria,
que nunca se ouviu dizer que algum
daqueles que tenha recorrido à Vossa protecção,
implorado a Vossa assistência e reclamado o Vosso socorro,
fosse por Vós desamparado.
Animado eu, pois, de igual confiança,
a Vós, Virgem entre todas singular,
como a Mãe recorro, de Vós me valho,
e, gemendo sob o peso dos meus pecados,
me prostro aos Vossos pés.
Não desprezeis as minhas súplicas,
ó Mãe do Filho de Deus humanado,
mas dignai- Vos de as ouvir propícia
e de me alcançar o que Vos rogo. Ámen
Russian
it’s difficult to find a Russian version of The Memorare to Holy Mother
Помни, о милостивая Дева Мария,
никогда не было известно, что кто-либо, спасаясь от твоей защиты,
умолял тебя о помощи или просил твоего заступничества,
остался без помощи.
Вдохновленный этой уверенностью,
я лечу к тебе, о девственница, моя Мать.
Я иду к тебе, пред тобой стою, грешный и печальный.
О Мать воплощенного Слова,
не презирай мои прошения,
, но по своей милости выслушай меня и ответь мне.

I like this one too!
Acordaos,
oh piadosísima Virgen María,
que jamás se ha oído decir
que ninguno de los que han acudido
a tu protección,
implorando tu asistencia
y reclamando tu socorro,
haya sido abandonado de ti.
Animado con esta confianza,
a ti también acudo, oh Madre,
Virgen de las vírgenes,
y aunque gimiendo
bajo el peso de mis pecados,
me atrevo a comparecer
ante tu presencia soberana.
No deseches mis humildes súplicas,
oh Madre del Verbo divino,
antes bien, escúchalas
y acógelas benignamente. Amén
