THE
NATIONAL VISITING STATUE OF ST. PHILOMENA
An Apostolate of the
Universal Living Rosary Association of St. Philomena, Philippines
St. Philomena's loving devotion to the Holy Eucharist which she had received daily gave her many wonderful graces and glories during her martyrdom when she had to submit to the most cruel torments of Emperor Diocletian's persecutors. She was able to overcome them with holy courage, shedding her blood and finally beheaded for Jesus Christ, her Spouse, to Whom she made a vow of chastity at the age of eleven.
With her constant desire to love God in overflowing measure, St. Philomena built her spiritual character and eternal destiny of greatness. Her chastity and martyrdom at the age of thirteen were so pleasing to Christ that she was given a singular privilege of not being refused when she solicits graces for those who pray to her.
St. Philomena is relevant today, a shining example of virtue to all, especially the youth, in whatever state of life we are in. Let us, therefore, imitate her respect for self, chastity of life, purity of intention, modesty in dress, speech and behavior, and decency in actions with love for God and His Immaculate Mother in our hearts and minds.
