THE PRAYER OF ST. BERNARD.

Memorare, &c.

REMEMBER, O most holy Virgin Mary! that no one ever had recourse to your protection, implored your help, or sought you

mediation, without obtaining relief. Confiding, therefore, in your goodness, behold me, a penitent sinner, sighing out my sins before you, beseeching you to adopt me for your son, and to take upon you the care of my eternal salvation.

Despise not, O Mother of Jesus! the petition of your humble client, but hear and grant my prayer.

The Litany of St. Joseph.

LORD have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us. Jesus receive our prayers. Lord Jesus, grant our petition.

O God the Son, Redeemer of mankind, have mercy on us.

O God the Holy Ghost, perfecter of the elect, have mercy on us.

Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us. Holy Mary, spouse of St. Joseph, pray for us.
