The the sacred relics arrived in Mugnano the morning of August 10th and were placed in the Church of Our Lady of Grace. Since the wonders happening were many and the number of devotees kept increasing, a new Church of Our Lady of Grace was built in Mugnano. It contains a chapel where the sacred relics were translated on September 29, , and where they still remain. In Mugnano, the three stones that sealed St.
Apart from the writing, what is striking is the richness of the symbols: two anchors, three arrows, a palm symbol of martyrdom, a flower. Externally, on the tomb of St. Philomena, there is the palm symbol of martyrdom and inside the glass vase with the blood, which, as we will see in the next chapters, has been subjected to the most rigorous exams.
Philomena has ascended to the glory of the Altars not for what we concretely know about her brief earthly existence but for the countless graces and miracles that God has lavished through her powerful intercession. That which is missing in the veneration of St. Philomena regarding historic records, is abundantly compensated by the richness and multiplicity of all the miracles performed thanks to her intercession from the day of the translation of her bones from Rome to Mugnano, up until now.
In the nineteenth century the figure of Philomena, young roman martyr, conquered hearts. The cult expanded rapidly. They were all seriously ill and were perfectly cured from their illnesses as a result in their faith in St.
The latin term dies natalis day of birth indicates the day in which the a saint moves from the earthly life to the eternal one. An earthly life spent observing the precepts of the divine commandments leads to eternal life. For a martyr, we can affirm what St. Ambrose wrote to the young martyr St. Basilici had received a few relics from Mugnano and wanted to divide them between the Churches of his Diocese.
He wanted to please all the applicants, but he did not know how. At this point the relics prodigiously multiplied themselves. He also declared that he received requests about relics from Cardinals and Bishops to promote the devotion and that he managed to meet the demands of everybody. The on June 17, a division of the dust belonging to the sacred Body of St. Philomena was solemnly carried out by in front of many witnesses that confirmed the prodigy.
What amazes both the ordinary faithful and the diligent researcher about the Philomena phenomenon is realizing how fast the cult of St. Philomena is spreading all over the world. In a few years the devotion towards this young girl has spread in the whole world matching, and even exceeding, the devotion towards other martyrs venerated in the past.
Before the decree of the Congregation of Rites of , St. Philomena was venerated and her figure was present in all the hagiography books. After , not only was she removed from the liturgical calendar, but in the majority of hagiography books she was treated as a symbol for all legends. Philomena more than ever, while others, confused, fell by the wayside. If so many High Pontiffs have approved her cult, St.
Philomena is a reality, and cannot be relegated into legend. The importance of the cult of St. Philomena can be evinced not only from the official Church documents, but also from the personal devotions that Popes that have had towards our Martyr.
Nearly all the Popes, from to , have shown a great veneration for St. Pius IX, apart from having been miraculously cured by the Saint and spreading her devotion in the diocese of Imola of which he was Pastor, as a Pope he visited the Sanctuary in Mugnano to venerate the sacred body of Philomena the martyr. The devotion of the Popes toward our martyr was great, as shown by their recognitions, privileges and ex voto. Pius VII He accomplished the greatest act, donating to Mugnano the body of St.
Gregory XVI The Pope himself donated to the Sanctuary of St. Philomena a precious medallion with his effigy, a big silver lamp with golden decorations and a golden chalice. Pius IX He was cured from his epilepsy by the intercession of our Saint. Leo XIII He came in pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of Mugnano when he was still Archbishop of Benevento.
Furthermore, on September 24, he granted the title of Archconfraternity solely to France to the Work of St. Furthermore, he sent two gifts to the Sanctuary in Mugnano: in a nice pastoral and on the May 25, , on the centenary of the finding of the relics, a wonderful missal. St Pius X He is the Pope that in proclaimed the Curate of Ars Blessed on the first centenary of the translation of St. Pius X loved St. Philomena very much and he was truly saddened by the Philomenian question about the originality of the stones found in front of her tomb.
Philomena: the highest tribute from a pope who became Saint to a great Saint! It was Pauline Jaricot who talked to him about the Saint of Mugnano and introduced her to him. It was she that gifted him with one of her relics. There is not a biography of the Curate of Ars where our Saint is not mentioned. In France he was the greatest promoter of the devotion towards the Saint of Mugnano. He had a statue of St. Philomena placed in his parish church, and then built a Basilica in her honor in Ars.
The Saint Curate attributed to the intercession of our Saint, all the numerous miracles performed in Ars. Peter Louis Marie Chanel
