Stories & Prayers

My son, Liam, passed away 12 years ago. My husband and I struggled with our faith after he passed. I have not prayed since…until I heard about Philomena. My family and I did come to the prayer service/block party and although I had already started praying myself, I think that day helped my four daughters and my husband, really see what faith in God and faith in your community can do. We now pray every day. Philomena was and is the miracle that brought us and so many people back to God. We will never stop praying.

The faith Phil has helped me gain over the past couple months is incredible. I look up to you and your family more than you know & I don’t think I can ever repay you for helping me find a better relationship with God… . Your strength is amazing, I only hope one day I can be a mother like you. Teach my children about our God & have trust in him like you have. … . you won’t ever begin to understand the impact your daughter has made on me & my family.

Know that your daughter was and still is with you. She is truly a child of God. You may never know the depth of her teaching, one child did so much to restore the faith of many. …. With our faith renewed we join you in your grieving, and will continue to pray for all who need prayer. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for you and your family. I can’t imagine the sadness you feel. Your family and Philomena have been an inspiration to so many others. That hope will live far longer than any of us.

I want to send you my deepest heartfelt condolences. I prayed, and my kids prayed. Philomena brought me back to praying … . Her beautiful little soul touched so many people.

You and Phil have brought me closer to God. I now talk to him several times a day. Still praying!

Just want to wish you a Merry Christmas… and thank you, Philomena helped me with my faith.

I wanted to thank you for your simple requests to pray. I feel like I’m witnessing something so big/beautiful. I’m one of a million people who has a new positive perspective, and I believe in you…. I am only 1 ounce of people out here, who are praying for you and your family, and rooting for you, for the long haul.

My sons learned the Hail Mary because of you guys…. God bless you. Your faith is amazing.

Although I have never met you, your daughters story has touched me deeply, especially your unwavering faith.

I just wanted to let you know your daughter is very special, your family is very special! I don’t think I’ve ever prayed so much in my life and it’s really opened me up…. nothing but positive vibes from her and that’s what this world needs more.

Phil and your family have truly reawakened my relationship with God and I thank you for that. …I will never stop praying for your baby and your family. #Stormtheheavens.
