The Chaplet of St. Philomena


The Chaplet of Saint Philomena consists of the following:
  • Crucifix
  • 3 White Beads – in Honor of the Holy Trinity
  • 13 Red Beads–13 years for the chaste life of Saint Philomena.
How to pray the chaplet of Saint Philomena

1. The Apostles Creed is recited on the Crucifix or Medal to ask for the gift of Faith.
2. An Our Father is prayed on each of the three white beads in honor of the Holy Trinity in thanksgiving for the gifts given to the Holy virgin, for in whose Honor, laid down Her life.
3. The red beads are thirteen in number and signify the 13 years our Martyr lived on Earth. On each of the thirteen red beads we pray: Hail, O Holy Saint Philomena, my dear patroness. As my advocate with thy 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. (The Hail Mary may be substituted  followed by St. Philomena, pray for us)
4. Conclude the chaplet by praying the following prayer: Saint Philomena, virgin and Martyr, pray for us that through thy powerful intercession we may obtain that purity of mind and heart which leads to the perfect love of God. Amen. (Glory Be may be substituted).
