Mother Theresa made up this "novena." When she had an immediate need and she didn't have time to pray a novena, which takes nine days, she prayed a Memorare nine times. Then she added a tenth memorare as a thanksgiving.
Perhaps you are in need now?
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto 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.
