I first learned about St. Philomena in high school. Her story touched me, and I would ask for her intercession here and there over the years. My devotion to St. Philomena has become more passionate since I was reacquainted with her last year. After I had been shot someone brought a pamphlet of information about the little saint, which included a litany, a novena and several other prayers to my hospital room. When my family arrived three days later my dad saw the pamphlet of St. Philomena. He exclaimed how he knew that I had a devotion to her and from then on he prayed the entire contents of the pamphlet every day kneeling at my hospital bed. When my family left my friends who took care of me continued to pray those prayers to St. Philomena every day at my bedside. Now that I am able to pray those prayers on my own I do so daily.
St. Philomena has been at my side ever since. She has been my constant companion throughout this entire journey
