Memorare, Coeleste Palmetum 1866
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.
Amen
MEMORARE, O piissima Virgo Maria, non esse auditum a saeculo,
quemquam ad tua currentem praesidia, tua implorantem auxilia,

ad te, Virgo Virginum, Mater, curro, ad te venio, coram te gemens peccator assisto.
Noli, Mater Verbi, verba mea despicere; sed audi propitia et exaudi.

Marc 16:1-8
(We do the Sign of the Cross in Faith, Hope and Love which both opens and closes the sequence of prayer)
"And when the sabbath had passed, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
Very early on the first of the week they came to the sepulcher, the sun having risen.
They said among themselves:
"Who shall roll away for us the stone from the door of the sepulcher?"
And looking up they see that the stone had been rolled away; for it was very great.
They entered the sepulcher and saw a young man, sitting at the right side, clothed in a white garment;
and they were amazed.
He says to them: “Be not amazed. You seek Jesus the Nazarene who was crucified; he has risen, he is not here: see the place where they laid him.”
And going out they fled from the sepulcher; for trembling and astonishment had seized them;
and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid."

When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, will you at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father have put in his own power.
“you shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and to the end of the earth.”
And when he had said these things, as they beheld, he was taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.

AT THE CONNECTING MEDALLION
THE LEONINE PRAYERS
The Rosary is a perfect wreath. It gives us Hope! You have now reached the connecting medallion where we through our Hymn, Salve Regina, unite the intentions and prayers.
The Leonine prayers are an add-on, as requested by Pope Leo XIII in trouble times for protection of the Church in 1884.
It starts starts with 3 x Ave Maria, followed by the hymn Salve Regina, and the prayer to the Archangel St. Michael (added in 1886).
Pope Pius XI decreed, in 1930, that these prayers continue to be prayed for the freedom of the Church.
Pope Francis I encouraged, on Sept. 27, 2020, the devotion to St. Michael the Archangel.
