First time commenter here but I cannot help but to share my family’s miracle from the little miracle worker, St. Philomena. Almost two years ago I was watching a multitude of saint videos when I suddenly became very drawn to St. Philomena over the other dozens of other saint stories. I began researching her feast day and realized it was August 11th, approximately 10 months from that time. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about a year at that point and suddenly I became very confident I was going to conceive this next month after numerous months of heartbreaking negative pregnancy tests. Fast forward a month, and I found out we were pregnant with our first child on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and our due date was August 12th… just one day from St. Philomena’s feast day! I knew my little friend in heaven put in a good word for my husband and I. Our beautiful baby girl was born a few days late on the Feast of the Assumption. St. Philomena and our holy Mother are written all over the blessing our first child. St. Philomena and Mother Mary pray for us!!

[@juliennekadi4450]

Wow I discovered about Saint Philomina through my teenage niece who under witchcraft attacks was failing in school. Suddenly we saw her praying to Saint Philomena. This oast academic year my teenage niece did very well in school. She received the awards of best student if the year !!! She is going to college !!! Thank you Sainte Philomena Thank you !!!!

[@DrSharuMaria]

St. Philomena interceded for me and granted the favour I asked of her when I was a teenager. Now by the grace of God, I am a doctor and I serve my Jesus through my patients. Praise be to Christ Jesus, Mary my Mother and St. Philomena, glorious virgin and Martyr to whom I will be always indebted for this great favour. Glory be to The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen ❤🙏

@@seansean7643 Thank you for your kind words. When he was three years old he helped carry our Lady of Fatima statue in the yearly Rosary procession. He and I were very close. When he first started to get sick he lived out west and I in the east. He moved back home and said his friends thought it was best to send him back to the factory to get him checked out. Then we found out he had terminal brain cancer. He always laughed and kept positive.

Lord and St. Philomena and St. Peregrine (the patron Saint for cancer patients) please hear our prayers.

[@RestoreJustice675]

You might want to look into Fenbendazole. It is said to have cured a man who's cancer spread into his lungs and had a prognosis of 3 months to live. Timmons is his last name. He made a KZbin video about it being completely gone from his body. Type in a search "Man with three months to live cured of cancer" on the KZbin Search bar. I think his first name is "Edmond". In His video he says he has helped 40 other people besides himself. I talked to someone a few weeks ago who had taken his last Chemo treatment. I told him about Fenbendazole, and he said he knows someone locally that used it and is cancer free. Google search "Is Cancer a Parasite". It will say Cancer acts as a parasite. Fenbendazole is an antiparasitic drug. (Ivermectin) as well is an antiparasitic drug and it too is said to work against cancer as well. Another story I heard about was a guy who Fasted 50 days. He too killed the cancer by starving it to death. Cancer lives off of our body. Thus it makes sense that if you kill it's food source you kill it. But too it suggests to me that it is a parasite because it seems to not be able to live on it's own. I'm not a Dr but do search these things out. I hope they help.

Two angels saved me from drowning as well when I was a kid. My little brother was drowning as well and I went in after him, I was too young to realize he would push me under, the moment I decided to let him use me as a step rather than swim down and up, they appeared, my lungs were instantly filled with a breath and I had no need for air at all. Then an adult noticed my brother and I slowly floated up from under him. They hadn’t even noticed me under there, I saw the angels arms holding me in the water from below me pushing and holding us up.

[@odettehernandez5150]

@3k3u3 That’s so interesting! I had a similar experience as a kid. I was in a giant floatee with my mom at a beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. A massive wave came and fell on us and in a bunch of other people. I remember getting thrust around and thrown onto the bottom of the sand and feeling like a bunch of water was being dumped on me. Then the water started dragging me into the ocean, so I dug my fingers in the sand while getting dragged. Meanwhile, I had been breathing the WHOLE time! I took a giant breath of air when I was initially under the water… I ended up swallowing water when a hand grabbed the back of my swimsuit and picked me up (my mom). It was awful but I somehow took breaths of air. I didn’t see anything, but it was so obviously God.

St. Philomena has greater power than other saints, because she died for Christ many times, not just once (as others). She was miracuously healed every time and did it again. That gives her greater power in Christ and I say, that she is an "atomic bomb" among other saints. I visited Mungano del Cardinale and her grave a few years ago and pray to her every day since. Fr. Chris, thank you so much for this talk.

My mother Grace Mary Keenan Jenkins had a devotion to St Philomena over the years , had the waist and wrist cords, which I also had but I often neglected to wear, and had the holy cards with her prayer that she said daily when well enough. She had blessed oil called St. Philomena oil for annointing herself and me and she said a dedicated decade meditating on one Mystery, the Nativity everyday, and the other mysteries were assigned to other people over all the world. to complete the rosary. This apostolate is called "The Universal Living Rosary Association," Dickinson, TX, who has St Philomena as patron and Pauline-Marie Jaricot as Foundress of the Propagation of the Faith and the Living Rosary. I greatly enjoyed this presentation and wished mom could have heard it. She died on May 23, 2024 and ask this community to pray for her repose. We prayed the rosary with Fr Chris's Rosary CD daily until about two weeks prior to her death and it became our pleasant daily practice.

​​@@garylarson6326 you can have full assurance of heaven by reading God's Bible Romans 10:9-10 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced (speak to God in a audible voice and he will save you from hell, it's a free gift for everyone, EPHESIANS 2:8-9 NLT 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. If salvation is based on our performance -- on what we do -- then it is not by grace. (the faith talked about is your faith in God alone and in his word alone, not a church, otherwise it wouldn't be God's grace alone.

[@hibiscusmonstera743]

Fr. Chris Alar, you solved the mystery in my prayer supplication with regard to St. Filumina. Every time I pleaded to Our Lady of sorrows for the conversion of sinners here, I also called on all the martyrs in heaven for help. As soon as I mentioned St. John the Baptist, St. Filumina's name came out next in my invocation of martyrs. I corrected myself and said, "sorry, she is not a martyr." And every time I did this prayer, calling on the martyrs for help, St. Filumina's name came out of my lips immediately after I mentioned the name of St. John the Baptist. Then I would say again to her, "No, you are not a martyr, sorry." And it kept on and on like this everyday. So finally I said to her, " Ok you want me to call you first, all right." Thank you, Lord God, for your chosen priest, Fr. Chris Alar, in helping us understand the Truth about the Faith. St. Filumina pray for us. Now I proclaim, St. Filumina, virgin-martyr pray for us.

I wear the St. Philomena cord as part of a scapular that I got from Rose Scapulars in California. They have just the cord too. I’ve been wearing their scapulars for over ten years and they are such good quality. ❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Fr Chris, for highlighting my patron Saint. She is so precious and I thought she was all but forgotten. Thank you for highlighting her importance and relevance for these difficult days. I am the third generation named for her in my family and being from Italian stock, we have the Italian spelling of her beautiful name. The picture that I have of her above my bed is over a century old, having been passed from one Filomena, my Nonna, to another, my Mother, and now to me, the third Filomena. I was surprised and delighted to see how many value Santa Filomena from the comments to your wonderful post. God bless your work! You are in my prayers.

[@chinweuwandu6216]

Please grant good health to every member of my family who is afflicted. Please help me intercede for my special intentions. Thank you for answered prayers St. Philomena.

[@vivianafernandes2039]

St Philomena pray for the conversion of my son pray that he be blessed with a life partner and relieve an old mother

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

Thank you, Fr Chris. I always like learning about the Saints. Although Saint Philomena is little known , (compared with the apostles, all the Teresa’s, etc) , she is definitely a powerhouse of intercession and grace. I am glad you remind listeners to like and subscribe and I think it is fantastic that the Divine Mercy channel has almost 1/2 million subscribers and I’m so grateful to be one of them. We all need to share these lessons too.

[@kurtcummins5062]

Amen 🙏 Karyn 🙏

St Philomena’s story would make a great movie! ❤

[@vimelendez4796]

To St. Philomina. Nothing is refused...

[@SBL19681]

Filomena is my mom’s name, she is called Phyllis in America though. Thanks Fr. Chris! I can ask for her intercession for the patients in the NICU 😇🙏❤️✝️🕊May God bless all of the Marians and Marian Helpers abundantly always!

[@beatricepulido]

St. Philomena is a great powerful Saint!! Ask her to be one of her devotees when praying a 9 day novena to her. Sometimes 3 knocks are heard when a prayer is answered.

[@lesliehanson6614]

Our family has worn out many St. Philomena cords! One daughter took her name for Confirmation. I also love the story of transporting her relics and the reliquary box kept forcing its way out from under the carriage seat until they all knelt down and prayed the rest of the way!

[@jolynevaleich5904]

My middle name is Filomena. My whole life has been a miracle and I attribute a great deal of this to her intercession and always protecting and watching over me. She truly is powerful with God.

[@reginapoon128]

[@LauraADHall]

Excellent talk Fr. Chris I learned so much about This most powerful and precious Saint Philomena I love her Greek name She truly a Princess of Heaven and Earth

[@AveMaria1917]

This devotion is great for addressing problems in the U.S. Navy especially fitting for the Divine Mercy Spirituality existence and nonexistence issues and torture issues as well. God speed and hope she supports you all... The Sea of Affliction and In the Sea you saved Peter... St. Pope Clement I, pray as well, especially about religious abuses... better to be cast into the sea for a lot of them with what they do...

[@ro3356]

Thank you very much, Fr. Chris, this was a thorough and very informative talk on Dear St. Filomena! Thank you for bringing her story to the Faithful! May God Bless you and all The Marians. I am a member of the Archconfraternity of St Filomena. Viva Santa Filomena!

St Philomena, please I pray for my children to come to love the Lord. For them to go to confession and receive the Eucharist.. and desire to live for Gods will not their own. I also pray that you lead me to become completely devoted to living a good life devoted to God.

[@kathyrussell8235]

Members of St Philomena Parish in Des Moines, WA. Our five children went all through St Philomena school. Not once were we educated like this. We did know she was “removed from the list of saints”🙂

[@marlynballesteros3096]

St. Philomena, Virgin and Martyr, Protectress of the Living Rosary and of the Children of Mary, intercedes and pray for us esp. for my children and grandchildren. Amen 🙏🙏🙏

[@victoriadiaz6710]

My husband and I were up late speaking last night about our wish for more children. I have low thyroid disease and difficulty to conceive. We’ve been praying since our son was 1, he is 4. We married later in life so not so young. I think this is a sign to pray to Saint philomena. If she helps us, we would name our child after her.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Prayers for you

[@j2muw667]

Have your tried eatting carnivore? Listen to Dr Barry or Jordan Peterson about carnivore. It’s helped some conceive. Or there’s a Catholic fertility place in Nebraska. God bless your journey to Heaven!

[@ladangharimau5712]

St St. Philomena is definitely Special to my husband and me and the family.

[@melaniegarcia4564]
