Hah! Mother Teresa’s emergency novena (when you don’t have nine days)

It’s the Memorare of course. I’ve known about this for decades and use it quite often. Wish I knew about it before French exams in college … Who knows?

Need help right away? Make Mother Teresa’s emergency novena

And then there’s this –

By whom and when was the Memorare composed?

And here is the 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, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
