NOVENA PRAYER TO SAINT PHILOMENA - Ver. 1
O 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... (Here specify your petition).
I am firmly convinced that through thy merits, through the scorn,
the sufferings 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

NOVENA PRAYER TO SAINT PHILOMENA - Ver. 2 The Three Part Novena

We beseech Thee, O Lord, to grant us the pardon of our sins by the intercession of Saint Philomena, virgin and martyr, who was always pleasing in Thy sight by her eminent chastity and by the profession of every virtue. Amen.

Illustrious virgin and martyr, Saint Philomena, behold me prostrate before the throne whereupon it has pleased the Most Holy Trinity to place thee. Full of confidence in thy protection, I entreat thee to intercede for me with God. Ah, from the heights of Heaven deign to cast a glance upon thy humble client! Spouse of Christ, sustain me in suffering, fortify me in temptation, protect me in the dangers surrounding me, obtain for me the graces necessary to me, and in particular (Here specify your petition). Above all, assist me at the hour of my death. Saint Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us. Amen.

O God, Most Holy Trinity, we thank Thee for the graces Thou didst bestow upon the Blessed Virgin Mary, and upon Thy handmaid Philomena, through whose intercession we implore Thy Mercy. Amen

THE CHAPLET OF SAINT PHILOMENA

The little Chaplet of St. Philomena consists of white beads, a token of virginity, red beads, the sign of martyrdom, and a St. Philomena medal. There are three white beads in honor of the Blessed Trinity, in whose honor the holy virgin laid down her life. The red beads are thirteen in number and signify the thirteen years St. Philomena lived on earth. This Chaplet is one of the simplest ways of praying to the Saint. When saying it, we may very properly ask, firstly for the grace of purity, in honor of the virginity of the Saint, who sacrificed life and honor in defense of this angelic virtue. Secondly, we should do well to ask for the strength and courage ever to do our duty, a virtue for which she was so eminently distinguished and which she is so ready to obtain for all her devoted clients.

This great grace alone helps a Christian to arrive at the highest sanctity, in the most practical and easy way. (If you do not have a Chaplet, ordinary rosary beads will suffice, as I am sure God and St. Philomena will honor your heart-filled prayers and devotion.)

First: Say the Apostle Creed to ask for the gift of faith.

Then three Our Fathers are said, in honor of the Three Divine Persons of the Blessed Trinity, in thanksgiving for the graces bestowed on Saint Philomena and for all the favors that have been obtained through her intercession.

The following prayer is then repeated thirteen times to commemorate her thirteen years:

Hail, O holy Saint Philomena, whom I acknowledge, after Mary, as my advocate with the Divine Spouse; intercede for me now and at the hour of my death.

Saint Philomena, beloved daughter of Jesus and Mary, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

The following prayer is said at the end of the Chaplet:

Hail, O illustrious Saint Philomena, who didst so courageously shed thy blood for Christ. I bless the Lord for all the graces He bestowed upon thee during thy life, and especially at thy death. I praise and glorify Him for the honor and power with which He has crowned thee, and I beg thee to obtain for me from God the graces I ask through thy intercession. Amen.

In praying the Chaplet or "Little Crown" as it is called, it is suggested that one ask for the grace of purity in honor of her virginity, who suffered death rather than tarnish this virtue; and secondly, for courage and fortitude to be faithful to the duties of a Christian as she was
