O God, who worked wonders through the intercession of the virgin martyr Saint Philomena, grant that through her prayers we may obtain the graces we seek and grow in faith and love.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Meditation

Philomena reminds us that God's power works through the saints. When we invoke them with faith, we can receive extraordinary graces.

Prayer to St. Philomena
O faithful virgin and glorious martyr, St. Philomena, who works so many miracles on behalf of the poor and sorrowing, have pity on me. You know the multitude and diversity of my needs.
Behold me at your feet, full of misery, but full of hope. Obtain for me from God the graces I need, especially the grace of final perseverance and the reward of eternal life.
Our Father
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory Be
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
St. Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us. Amen.
