NOVENA TO SAINT PHILOMENA

O faithful virgin and glorious martyr,

Saint 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 favourable answer to the request

which I now humbly lay before thee.

(Make your request here...)

I am thoroughly 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.

Amen.
