Saint Philomena: The Forgotten Wonder-Worker | Padre Pio’s Warning & Powerful Devotion

About this sermon

Who is St. Philomena, and why does devotion to this powerful virgin martyr continue to inspire Catholics throughout the world? In this sermon for the feast of St. Philomena, discover why this extraordinary saint — whose name means “Daughter of Light” — remains a powerful intercessor for Catholics today. Although St. Philomena was removed from the universal liturgical calendar in 1961, the faithful may still invoke her intercession and continue their devotion to her. The sermon also reflects on the remarkable devotion that saints such as St. John Vianney (the Curé of Ars), St. Padre Pio, and Pope St. Pius X had toward St. Philomena. Known by many devotees as a powerful wonder worker, St. Philomena has inspired Catholics throughout the world to turn to her for both spiritual and temporal needs. Her intercession is especially presented here as a tremendous gift for our times — an age in which purity, chastity, innocence, and the Christian life face extraordinary attacks. This sermon explores: • Why Catholics can still pray to St. Philomena • The confusion surrounding her removal from the universal calendar • Padre Pio’s devotion to St. Philomena • St. John Vianney and the miracles attributed to her intercession • Why St. Philomena may be a saint especially providential for our times • Her title as patroness of the Living Rosary and the Children of Mary • The Cord of St. Philomena • Why Catholics should consider praying a novena to St. Philomena • Her powerful intercession for spiritual and temporal needs • St. Philomena as a model of purity and chastity • The spiritual battle facing young Catholics today • The hope for a new era of purity • The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary If you are suffering from interior trials, persecution, spiritual obstacles, difficulties in growing in virtue, or another serious need, consider entrusting your intentions to St. Philomena and praying a novena through her intercession — always asking that your petition be in accordance with the will of God. St. Philomena, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us. St. Philomena, Daughter of Light, pray for us. St. Philomena, powerful with God, pray for us. Immaculate Heart of Mary, triumph in our hearts.
