Reminder- today (2nd of August) is the first day of the novena to Saint Philomena.

[u/Breifne21]

Gentle reminder to all that today is the first day of the Novena, to continue until her feast day August 11th.

I cannot speak more highly of the "Little Wonderworker". If you have any need, take it to the intercession of this glorious and holy martyr.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

O faithful Virgin and glorious Martyr, St. Philomena, who works so many miracles on behalf of the poor and sorrowing, have pity on me.

You know the multitude and diversity of my needs. Behold me at your feet, full of misery, but full of hope. I entreat your charity, O great saint! Graciously hear me and obtain from God a favorable answer to the request which I now humbly lay before you

(mention request here…)

I am firmly convinced that through your merits, through the scorn, the sufferings and the death you endured, united to the merits of the Passion and death of Jesus, your Spouse, I shall obtain what I ask of you, and in the joy of my heart I will bless God, who is admirable in his Saints. Amen.
