O glorious St. Philomena, animated by a burning love for Jesus our Savior, didst shine in Holy Church by the splendor of perfect virginity and the practice of the most heroic virtues, obtain for us of thy Divine Spouse the grace to keep ever unsullied the precious treasure of chastity and to practice with generosity the virtues of our state, that having, after thy example, walked in His footsteps during our life on earth, we may, with thee, rejoice in His glory through all eternity. St. Philomena, happy virgin, adorned with all the charm of innocence and beautified, with the purple of martyrdom, obtain for us the grace to know how to suffer all, and to sacrifice all in order to be faithful to God 'til death and possess Him eternally in paradise.
I consecrate you to the Saint Philomena, virgin and martyr. Who gave herself for Christ. Through her powerful intercession. Amen.
