    I prayed for the intercession of St. Philomena for a granddaughter for about a year. Unexpectedly, I was handed a picture (ultrasound) around Christmas of a grandchild coming. Not planned! Nine months later, I have a healthy little granddaughter. My granddaughter is now over a year old! Thank you, St. Philomena.

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.

    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.

      @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.

    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!!

      ​​@@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.

    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. Thank you Fr Chris for this and all your Seminary teachings that we loved to watch/hear. God Bless you, your ministry and your family.

    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.

    I hope another comment is permitted. We had a Shrine of St Philomena at Pantasaph in North Wales. The Mother of a convent looking after orphans wanted a painting of St Philomena but she would not let the Franciscan priest monk paint it on a picture but only straight on the wall. He had painted a ray of light coming through a window and falling on St Philomena. He was at the 5am Mass in the monastery when he heard a child's voice speak. He turned round to tell her be be quiet during Mass. But saw no one. The voice came again saying, "The light that fell on me did not come through the window, it came from heaven." Stunned he realized it was St Philomena. He painted out the window. It was recognized as a shrine as according to canon Law if a devotion continues unbroken for 40 years it is verified as a shrine. The local Bishop did not want it as a shrine. In time after the nun who looked after a painting which was made as a copy of the one on the wall and kept a candle burning continuously before it for many years in her convent next to the orphanage, she died. The orphanage convent buildings were sold and made into house but the builders had taken down each stone and stored them all together in the care of another young man. So they are in a crate somewhere in a field in North Wales and the young man has moved away so we do not know what became of them.The franciscans also have recently left due to low numbers and Vincentians have taken over the friary. So all we have left is the fact that St Philomena actually spoke in that friary church.

    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. Amen.

    Countless miracles, big and small, have been wrought by God through this dear Little Saint for several members of my family, friends, and patients (I work at a doctor’s office).
    I ask Our Lady and St. Philomena to keep my children, their spouses, and especially my 6 grandchildren under their protection. I heard several years ago that when you ask the Blessed Mother and Saint Philomena for their intercession at the same time, graces come abundantly. And I have been a witness to that! Thank you, Blessed Mother, St Philomena for all your loving intercession!! A blessed Feast day to all! DEO GRATIAS!! 🤍🪷⚓️🕊️

      @@kathleenography996 i pray the Novena Prayer to ST PHILOMENA and there is also the Chaplet of ST PHILOMENA. You can get the Novena Cards at Tan Books for much lesser price when you get them in packs. That way you may share them to others who might need her intercession and ultimately spread her devotion. That’s what I did 13 years ago or so. If you’d like I can send you a picture of the Novena Prayer to your email. Just let me know.
      May Saint Philomena intercede for you. She truly is powerful with GOD!

    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.

    I actually do think Father Chris Alar does have the power of healing! I don’t know how this channel found me, perhaps bcuz sometimes I like listening to Gregorian chants.. but I could seriously listen to Fr. Chris Alar sermons all day any day. He is calming yet stimulating. I’m not even sure what faith I belong to bcuz in general I just love all religious discussions. My Dad is Catholic ( I was baptized & given a Saint middle name, Linda Mary) my mom is Buddhist & I often went to temples with her. During my teen years, I joined AWANAS Christian youth group. I tune in on Saturdays & Sundays to hear Father Chris Alar’s perspective. His thoughts, sermons, & prayers are soul healing us all from afar. I have started to save some of my favorites from Fr Chris Alar in a playlist, but I am definitely ordering the slap bracelet now too! Bless you & Thank you Father❣️

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.

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.
