Patron Prayer

O glorious St. Philomena, you who are a model of purity and strength, I turn to you with confidence in my needs. You endured trials and suffering for your faith and were rewarded with eternal life. Please intercede for me and ask our Lord to grant me the grace I seek (mention your intention).

Help me to live a life of holiness and devotion, and inspire me to remain steadfast in my faith. May your example encourage me to face my challenges with courage, trusting in God’s love and mercy.

Amen

About the patron

Philomena (c. 291–304), often called the “Wonder Worker,” is known for her youthful purity, courage, and deep faith in God. Despite facing persecution as a young girl, she remained committed to Christ, even in the face of death. Her unwavering trust in God and dedication to her faith inspire families and parishes to hold firm to their beliefs and find strength in prayer. St. Philomena’s example encourages us to live with courage, innocence, and devotion, especially during challenging times, knowing that God’s grace will see us through.
