O faithful virgin and glorious martyr,
Saint Philomena, who works so many miracles
on behalf of the poor and the 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 requests which I now humbly lay before you.
(silently mention your requests)
I am firmly convinved that through your merits,
through the scorn, the sufferings
and 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.
