Santa Filomena
Padre Wagner Ruivo
Saint Philomena
Your parents so wanted a child
Sterile mother, how could she get pregnant
But Jesus gave them hope
In a miracle, Philomena wanted to give us
Like Saint Philomena had faith and even in death loved Jesus
Only then does our life make sense
If we embrace our cross with joy
Sovereigns surrendered to your beauty
But your heart already belonged to the Lord
They didn't know you already had a spouse
Holy virgin, you were all for the Lord
Like Saint Philomena had faith and even in death loved Jesus
Only then does our life make sense
If we embrace our cross with joy
Christ asks us to be a light in the world
Philomena means daughter of light
Oh, help us, dear Philomena, to radiate Christ Jesus in this world
Like Saint Philomena had faith and even in death loved Jesus
Only then does our life make sense
If we embrace our cross with joy
