(3 times) Prayer For Purity O GLORIOUS Saint Philomena, who animated by a burning love for Jesus our Saviour, didst shine in Holy Church by the splendor of perfect virginity and the practice of the most heroic virtues, obtain for us of thy Divine spouse the grace to keep ever unsullied the precious treasure of chastity and to practice with generosity the virtues of our state, that having, after thy example, walked in His footsteps during our life on earth, we may, with thee, rejoice in His glory eternally. A PARENTS CONSECRATION OF HIS CHILD O Saint Philomena, I place my children in thy keeping. Illustrious Virgin, who so thoroughly understood the excellence of purity, keep their souls pure and holy in the sight of God. Wise young maiden, who so fully comprehended the infinite value of eternal treasures and the shallowness of temporal riches and power, instruct my children in the value of things spiritual. Assist them in building up rich treasures in the storehouse of Heaven, where their wealth can neither be destroyed, nor taken from them. Courageous Martyr, who died in torment rather than offend the All Good God, teach my children a true horror of sin and a love of true virtue. I implore thee, Saint Philomena, to obtain for them the courage to suffer persecution and tortures bravely rather than to deny Almighty God. I ask these favors with complete confidence, Saint Philomena, because I know that thou, who gave all to God, can obtain all from Him and I am sure that thou wouldst never refuse to hear the prayer of a parent who implores thy help for the eternal salvation of his/her child.
