St. Philomena's Cord and Scapular THE BLESSED CORD OF ST. PHILOMENA The pious practice of wearing the Cord of St. Philomena was born spontaneously amongst the Saints' devotees. The Cord was first distributed by the saintly Cure of Ars who was seen on numerous occasions being presented with the Cord for his blessing. The wearing of the cord was approved by the Congregation of Rites on 15th September 1883. The cord of St. Philomena is made with either cotton, linen or wool and must be white and red in colour, with two knots at one end in honour of Her title of Virgin and Martyr. The Cord should be worn under the clothes like a belt, although there are small Cords which can be worn around the wrist, and the following prayer should be said every day: "O St. Philomena, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us so that through your powerful intercession we may obtain that purity of spirits and heart that leads to the perfect love of God".
