ST. PHILOMENA CHAPLET
This chaplet consists of three
white beads and

Creed to ask for the grace of
faith.
On each of the white beads say
an Our Father in
honor of the three Divine Persons
of the Blessed
Trinity in thanksgiving for
all favors obtained
through her intercession.
On each of the red beads, which
are thirteen in
number to commerate the thirteen
years that St.
Philomena spent on earth, say
the following prayer:
Hail, O holy St. Philomena, whom
I ac-
knowledge, after Mary, as my advocate
with
the Divine Spouse, intercede for
me now and
at the hour of my death.
St, Philomena, beloved daughter
of Jesus
and Mary, pray for us who have
recourse to
thee. Amen.
In conclusion say:
Hail, O illustrious St. Philomena,
who shed
so courageously your blood for
Christ! I bless
the Lord for all the graces He
has bestowed
upon thee during thy life, and
especially at
thy death. I praise and glorify
Him for the
honor and power with which He has
crowned
thee, and I beg thee to obtain
for me from God
the graces I ask through thy intercession.
