Prayer to Saint Philomena


“Whatever you ask from her, She will obtain for you.”
~ Pope Gregory XVI ~



Novena Prayer to St. Philomena
(9 successive days)

O faithful virgin and glorious martyr, St Philomena, 
who works so many miracles 
on behalf of the poor and sorrowful, 
have pity on me. 
Thou knowest the multitude and diversity of my needs. 
Behold me at thy feet, 
full of misery, but full of hope. 
I entreat thy charity o great Saint. 
Graciously hear me and obtain from God 
a favourable answer to the request 
which I now humbly lay before you 
(here specify your petition)
I am firmly convinced that through thy merits, 
through the scorn, the sufferings 
and the death thou didst endure, 
united to the merits 
of the Passion and Death of Jesus thy Spouse, 
I shall obtain what I ask of thee 
and in the joy of my heart I will bless God, 
who is admirable in His saints. 
Amen.
