I'm glad you asked. :-) It is the Sub Tuum prayer, and it is the oldest Marian prayer known to the Catholic Church. It dates from at least the third century A.D., since they found an Egyptian papyrus from that time with the rough text of the prayer. The full Latin text is:
"Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, sancta Dei Genitrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus; sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta," which means, "We fly to your protection (or patronage), O Holy Mother of God. Despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us from all dangers, O ever glorious and blessed Virgin."
