Below is one of the poems, which I have written About St. Philomena. Saint Philomena The Wonder Worker The king and queen no baby had; They longed to be a mum and dad; To pagan gods they prayed each day; But still no baby came their way. Then good advice was given to them; It proved to be a priceless gem; Christians are what you should be; Then a baby blessing You shall see! When this was done; The grace was granted; And with little Philomena; They were enchanted! When little Philomena had reached twelve years; Bad news filled up their eyes with tears; On their country small and poor; The emperor of Rome declared a war ! Lets go to Rome; The King told wife and daughter; To plead with the emperor; to prevent this slaughter. At the mighty emperors court; They pleaded with him; the war to abort. The emperor had a new idea; He said theres nothing more to fear. Give me your daughter; To be my wife; And I promise her; A wonderful life! The offer took them by surprise; A refusal would mean; Their countrys demise; The king and queen were filled with gladness; But Philomena was overcome by sadness. To be a bride of Christ; Shed already taken a vow; No way would Philomena; Let it be broken now. The answer was a steadfast no; The emperor now his force would show! To the dungeon Philomena was deployed; All manner of torture was employed; It was all to no avail; The emperors methods were doomed to fail. Because God Himself defended her soul; Philomena kept her eyes on her heavenly goal. The maiden Philomena; Was strengthened by faith and grace; Until the day she could behold; God face to face. Finally the maiden Philomena was beheaded; And the onlookers wept; For many centuries in the catacombs; she silently slept. At last her relics were located; And the excavators were elated; When Philomenas relics, Were bought up to the ground; Miracles started to abound ! Some folks thought that miracles; Had stopped with the Bible; With Philomena; They had a revival. The sneering cynics; Who had announced Gods demise; Were by Philomenas miracles; Dealt a surprise. Saint Philomenas fame; Spread everywhere; And people ran to her; Pleading in prayer. No one was forgotten; No one was left out; The cripples; The dying; The sad; And the needy; All of them found; Her miracles speedy. From heaven she surveys; All of our needs; And on our behalf; With God she pleads. Say a prayer to Saint Philomena; And light her a candle; Because there is no problem; That she cannot handle. There’s one thing more; We should not ignore; From her grave of silent obscurity; She has come back to teach us; About goodness and purity.
