PRAYER TO SAINT PHILOMENA FOR A SPECIAL FAVOR So, that wearing thy holy cord and imitating thee in this life, I may one day be crowned with thee in Heaven.

Philomena, whom God in His eternal power has revealed to the world in these unhappy days in order to revive the faith, sustain the hope and enkindle the charity of Christian souls, behold me prostate at thy feet. I am firmly convinced that through the merits, through the scorn, the sufferings and 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 the joy of my heart I will bless God, who is admirable in His saints. Graciously hear me and obtain from God a favourable answer to the request which I now humbly lay before you (here specify your petition). Behold me at thy feet, full of misery, but full of hope. Thou knowest the multitude and diversity of my needs. O faithful virgin and glorious martyr, Saint Philomena, who works so many miracles on behalf of the poor and sorrowful, have pity on me.
