Prayer of St. Bernard

Remember, O all-merciful Virgin Mary, that from time immemorial no one has heard of the fact that someone who comes running to You, asking for Your help, seeking Your intercession, was abandoned by You. Filled with such hope, I come to You, Virgin and Mother of the Almighty, with humility and contrition for my sins. Do not despise my words, O Mother of the Eternal Word, and graciously heed my request.

Amen.
