Prayers to Saint Philomena for Immediate Miracles

About this book

Following the discovery of the relics of Saint Philomena in the Catacombs of Priscilla in Rome, devotion to her spread throughout the world during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. From very early on, numerous faithful began to attribute unexpected healings, sudden conversions, and providential help to her intercession, which led to her being known in many places as a "powerful saint for difficult or urgent causes." Saints such as John Mary Vianney had great confidence in Saint Philomena, even calling her "my little saint." Prayers to Saint Philomena for Immediate Miracles brings together a collection of prayers inspired by popular devotion to Saint Philomena to ask for help, consolation, and spiritual strength, evoking brief supplications that Catholics have recited since the nineteenth century, such as "Saint Philomena, virgin and martyr, powerful before God, help me in my need." With a novena to receive miracles, spaces to write down intentions, and traditional images of Saint Philomena, this is a book that accompanies daily prayer with faith and hope, ideal for those seeking consolation in urgent moments, presenting their needs to God, and growing in confidence in the intercession of the saints.
