O Faithful Virgin and glorious martyr, St. Philomena, who works so many miracles on behalf of the poor and sorrowing, have pity on her. Thou knowest the multitude and diversity of her needs. Behold her at thy feet, full of misery, but full of hope. I entreat thy charity, O great Saint! Graciously hear me and obtain from God a favorable answer to the request which I now humbly lay before thee…
that odhiambo’s remaining sight be preserved; or, if it is the Divine Will, that her total vision be restored
I am firmly convinced that through thy merits, through the scorn, the sufferings and the death thou didst endure, united to the merits of the Passion and death of Jesus, thy Spouse, I shall obtain what I ask of thee, and in the joy of my heart, I will bless God, Who is admirable in His Saints. Amen.
St. Philomena, pray for her!
