Chaplet in honor of Saint Philomena
The Chaplet is made up of red beads and white beads: the red beads signify the Martyrdom of the Saint, while the white beads indicate her Virginity and Purity. On the Cross or on the Medal, the Creed is recited to ask for the gift of faith. On the first three beads, three Our Fathers are said to the Most Holy Trinity to thank it for the charisms granted to our Saint, and because she has been designated, together with other Saints, as a support of Faith in these difficult times.
Then, this invocation is recited on each of the following thirteen beads, in memory of the thirteen years lived by the Martyr on earth:
I greet you, Saint Philomena, my dear Patroness: be my advocate with your divine Spouse.
I beg you to intercede for me now and at the hour of my death.
Beloved of Jesus and Mary, pray for us who have recourse to you.
Amen.
(In the recitation of the Chaplet, the thirteen invocations I greet you... may be replaced by the recitation of thirteen Hail Marys, followed by the ejaculation Saint Philomena, pray for us).
After the Chaplet, the litanies in honor of Saint Philomena are recited.
