St. Philomena, who despised with heroic courage the greatest honors, in order to remain faithful to Christ, *
St. Philomena, whose faith and love for Jesus Christ could not be shaken, either by promises or threats, *
St. Philomena, whose constancy could not be diminished, either by the supplications of a father, or the tenderness of a mother, *
St. Philomena, who by your love of sufferings, merited to be consoled by Jesus, *
St. Philomena, whose ardor to endure new torments augmented every day, *
St. Philomena, whom God confided to the care of Angels, and who by their assistance defeated the rage of your persecutors, *
St. Philomena, whose glory God was pleased to manifest by continual wonders, *
St. Philomena, who endured several kinds of martyrdom from the different punishments you suffered, *
St. Philomena, who, by your example, drew many souls to Faith, *
St. Philomena, bound to a pillar and struck with reeds, *
St. Philomena, perfect model of Christian virgins, *
St. Philomena, special protectress of those who honor you, *
St. Philomena, whom the Church honors and reveres as an illustrious virgin and martyr of Jesus Christ, *
St. Philomena, now in possession of immortal honor, *

Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
R. Spare us, O Lord
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sins of the world,
R. Graciously hear us, O Lord
Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world,
R. Have mercy on us

V. Pray for us, St. Philomena!
R. That we may, like you, consecrate our entire lives to the love of Jesus.

Let us pray:
O Glorious virgin and martyr, whose glory God has been pleased to manifest by shining miracles! we address ourselves to you with entire confidence. Obtain for us, that, following your example, we may generously combat all that opposes the reign of Jesus Christ in our hearts, that He may ornament them with thy virtues, with that angelic purity of which you are so perfect a model; it order that, enkindled with a love for Jesus, we may walk constantly in the way He has pointed out to us, and partake one day of your eternal felicity. Amen.
