St Philomena Cord with Prayer Card and Medal

Description

St Philomena Cord with Prayer Card and Medal.

The Cord of Saint Philomena is made with threads of cotton or wool of white and red colour. In one of the extremities it has two knots to remember the Virginity and Martyrdom of the Saint. This is worn under ordinary clothes like a belt.

The Cord of Saint Philomena is both a Symbol and a Prayer. A Symbol, because with it we wish to tie ourselves with the Saint with sincere devotion; a Prayer, because, holding it, we pray Saint Philomena to constantly offer us her protection.

Purpose of this devotion is therefore to obtain, by intercession of Saint Philomena, the effective means to:

• preserve chastity, everyone according to their state;

• fight the constantly increasing disbelief and strengthen oneself in faith and spirit;

• profess a constant and a particular love to the Saint Thaumaturge, in order to merit her favours in the fight against sickness of the body and soul.
