PRAYER TO ST. PHILOMENA

ST. PHILOMENA, VIRGIN, MARTYR AND WONDER WORKER
PRAY TO ST. PHILOMENA,
WHATEVER YOU ASK FROM HER
SHE WILL OBTAIN FOR YOU.
(Pope Gregory XVI)
"TO PHILOMENA NOTHING IS REFUSED" Blessed Virgin Mary
O Saint Philomena, Virgin and Martyr, whom God glorifies by so many miracles, whom the Vicar of Jesus Christ has named the Protectress of The Living Rosary and the Children of Mary, manifest, more and more plainly from the heights of Heaven, that a voice holy as thine cannot be denied and that we have the right to rely upon thine aid. Obtain for us the grace to be faithful to Jesus Christ, even to death. Amen.
Prayer
O most pure Virgin, glorious Martyr, St Philomena, whom God in His eternal power has revealed to the world in these unhappy days in order to revive the faith, sustain the hope and enkindle the charity of Christian souls, behold me prostrate at thy feet Deign, O Virgin, full of goodness and kindness, to receive my humble prayers and to obtain for me that purity for which thou didst sacrifice the most alluring pleasures of the world, that strength of soul which made thee resist the most terrible attacks and that ardent love for our Lord Jesus Christ, which the most frightful torments could not extinguish in thee. So, that wearing thy holy cord and imitating thee in this life, I may one day be crowned with thee in heaven. Amen.
