Memorare
Remember , Our Lady of La Salette , true Mother of Sorrows, the tears which thou didst shed for me on Calvary. Remember also the care thou didst always take of me, in order to shield me from the justice of God. After having done so much for thy child, thou wilt not now abandon him. Animated by this consoling thought, I come to cast myself at thy feet, in spite of my infidelities and my ingratitude. Do not reject my prayer, O Merciful Virgin, but convert me, obtain for me the grace to love Jesus above all things and to console thee by a holy life, that I may, one day, be able to see thee in heaven. Amen.

(An indulgence of 500 days (S.P.Ap., Nov 7, 1927 and Dec. 12, 1933)
