This chaplet consists of a medal, 3 white
beads (signifying virginity and in honor of the Blessed Trinity) and 13 red
beads (signifying martyrdom and commemorating the number of years Philomena
lived on earth).
On the medal say the Apostle's 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 13 red beads that commemorate the thirteen years that St.
Philomena spent on earth, say the following prayer:
"Hail, O holy St. Philomena,
whom I acknowledge, 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."
