St
Philomena helps in all sorts of problems, and is particularly invoked
for help regarding conversion of sinners, return to the Sacraments,
expectant mothers, destitute mothers, problems with children,
unhappiness in the home, infertility, priests and their work, help
for the sick, the missions, real estate, money problems, food for the
poor and mental illness.
The
prayer below is recited on nine consecutive days.
Faithful
virgin and glorious martyr, St Philomena, who works so many miracles
on behalf of the poor and sorrowing – 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 favorable answer to
the request which I now humbly lay before thee (mention your
request).
I am firmly convinced that through thy merits, through
the scorn, the sufferings, 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.
