St. Philomena's Crown (Chaplet)
On the Crucifix say: The Apostles' Creed to ask for the grace of Faith. (On some forms of the chaplet there is no Crucifix - in this case the Apostles' Creed is said on the medal). On each of the following three beads say an Our Father in honour of the Blessed Trinity and in thanksgiving for all the graces bestowed upon Saint Philomena and in thanksgiving for all favours received through her intercession.
On each of thirteen beads (13 in number to commemorate the 13 years that Saint Philomena spent on earth) Say: "Hail O holy Saint Philomena, whom I acknowledge, after Mary, as my advocate with the Divine Spouse, intercede for me now and at the hour of my death. Saint Philomena, beloved daughter of Jesus and Mary, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen.
On the chaplet's medal you say: "Hail, O, illustrious Saint Philomena, who so courageously shed 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 honour 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.
