Pero sí regresó; tras un mes de sufrimientos terribles, pudo hacer el viaje a Mugnano, donde fue curada en el santuario de las reliquias de Filomena. Su salud se había vuelto alarmante durante el viaje. La gente, aterrorizada por la apariencia esquelética de la niña, se reunió a su alrededor y la ensordecieron con sus súplicas a Filomena para que la curara. Sus dolores se habían vuelto tan intensos estando en su silla de minusválidos que se desplomó; todo mundo pensó que había muerto. Pero no era la muerte: el color regresó a her pale cheeks and watery eyes loomed a heavenly peace. Realizing that Pauline was cured, the crowd went wild with joy and shouted again and again: A miracle! A miracle! Saint Philomena Viva!
Pauline began his return to Rome and presented to the Pope. But as he had not been informed of his cure, was paralyzed with joy and wonder to see in perfect health to the young woman shortly before was on the verge of death. To investigate thoroughly cured, Pauline ordered to stay in Rome for a year, during which he conferred many privileges.
While what he said ser «un milagro de primera clase» le había llegado al alma, Gregorio no relajó en lo más mínimo las leyes rigurosas de los tribunales romanos. Sin embargo, cumpliendo con su promesa, al instante tomó medidas para ordenar que la Sagrada Congregación de Ritos iniciara una investigación a fondo por la causa de la santa. Todas las dificultades y dudas que impedían la aprobación de la Iglesia se resolvieron después de que los mejores expertos hubieran escudriñado toda la evidencia. Mientras tanto, las peticiones por parte del clero y los fieles para la canonización de Filomena inundaron Roma. En primer plano los obispos hacían llamados solicitando su causa. Todo el episcopado de Italia declaró que la niña Philomena was a saint. For two years the Sovereign Pontiff prayed and meditated until Filomena elevated to sainthood. On January 30, 1837, issued the decree authorizing the devotion and granted the liturgical celebration of his feast with Mass in his honor. He called the little virgin-martyr "the miracle worker of the nineteenth century."
The greatest miracle related to this miracle-worker said to have been the rapid spread around the world their devotion. St. John Vianney was the one who played an important role in promoting such devotion. Among his clients were also St. Madeleine-Sophie Barat, St. Peter Chanel, and Ven. Peter Julien Eymard. Through souls like these, the little saint entered the hearts of millions around the world.
But who was St. Philomena? Despite detailed investigations, we found very little information made known his life before his martyrdom. In response to the fervent prayers of his devotees, the holy revealed three different people the story of his life and martyrdom, which can be read in the brochure Filumena Pax tecum. According to these revelations, Filomena, who had taken a vow of virginity at a young age, was killed because she refused to enter into a sinful marriage with a rich and powerful monarch. Neither the pleas of their parents and offers wealth and earthly domain, or the most terrifying torments were able to weaken their resolve. And although we are not obliged to accept private revelation, it is noteworthy that these disclosures under surprisingly known details about the holy, and are extraordinary, because the people who lived were revealed in different places and not knew each other.
Since his relics were found, Pope after pope has publicly honored and promoted a personal devotion to her. Pope Gregory XVI issued a decree of canonization and declared to be "the great miracle worker of the nineteenth century," and then "the patron saint of Living Rosary. " Pope Pius IX was perhaps the most devoted to her. Called "patron of the children of Mary" and granted the special privilege of a proper office. The saintly Pope Pius X, who showed a tender devotion to her, ordered that the decisions and decrees made by his predecessors, concerning the cause of the saint, not altered in any way. Pope Leo XIII approved the Confraternity of Saint Philomena and then rose to the rank of archicofradía.
is tragic that despite these statements of the Fathers, now is being said everywhere that there was no Santa Filomena, who was not virgin-martyr or saint, merely a legend. The acts of canonization so part of the teaching office of the papacy that have long been regarded as infallible acts. On the advice of the Holy Mother Church, supported by scientific evidence and the miracles wrought through the intercession of the saint, we know that Filomena did exist. Despite efforts to discredit his name, the little saint continues to show its great power of intercession in heaven. In fact, there are more write us to know something about Santa Filomena than any other saint. One such letter reads: "Our church was named after Saint Philomena, but now tell us that never existed ... However I have received many favors from her wonderful ...».
Yes, even today there is not a class of people that Saint Philomena not help very special. Loves children with a very tender affection; helps to religious in their work for the Church helps the sick and dying, is invoked for births happy, it helps the cause of religious education and has a love special missions. The poor, the needy, the afflicted, the sick, all they find solace and comfort to your feet. Like a candle in a table as a city sitting on a mountain that can not be hidden, St. Philomena, the daughter of light, still bathing with sweet heavenly light amid the darkness of this sinful world ...
But he returned, after a month of terrible suffering, he could make the trip to Mugnano, which was cured at the shrine of the relics of Filomena. His health had become alarmingly during the trip. The people, terrified by the girl's skeletal appearance, they gathered round and deafened their prayers to Philomena for the cure. Her pain had become so intense being in his chair collapsed handicapped, everyone thought he was dead. But it was not death: the color returned to her pale cheeks and watery eyes loomed a heavenly peace. Realizing that Pauline was cured, the crowd went wild with joy and shouted again and again: A miracle! A miracle! Saint Philomena Viva!

what he claimed to be "a first-class miracle" had touched my soul, Gregory did not relax in the least stringent laws of the Roman courts. However, in keeping with his promise, immediately took action to order the Sacred Congregation of Rites initiate a thorough investigation into the cause of the saint. All the difficulties and uncertainties that prevented the approval of the Church were resolved after the best experts have scrutinized all the evidence.
