Santuario di S. Filomena的点评
点评:I have a special devotion to St. Philomena so when I found out this sanctuary was close by while visiting Italy, we made a special pilgrimage. I wrote before to find out hours. We took a train from Rome to Naples then rented a car. We drove about 25 min to Avellino to the sanctuary- very easy to get there! The sisters were amazing and very informative. We went only a week after the annual blessing of her oil (first Sunday in January after her birthday 1/10) and were able to purchase small vials of healing oil, medals, statues and prayer cards from the gift shop. We also randomly met a young priest from Boston who is a navy chaplain and two friends while there. We had the special privilege to be present when he said mass at a side altar for just the 4 of us. He then blessed us and our newly purchased items with a relic of the true cross. What a gift!! St. Philomena is a persistence, faithful, loyal saint who intercedes well for us. I highly recommend making the trip!
翻译:我对圣菲洛梅娜有着特殊的信仰,所以当我在意大利旅行时发现这个圣所就在附近时,我们就进行了一次特别的朝圣之旅。我之前写信询问了时间。我们从罗马乘火车到那不勒斯,然后租了一辆车。我们开车大约 25 分钟到阿韦利诺的圣所——很容易到达那里!修女们很棒,知识渊博。我们在她每年的圣油祝福仪式(1 月的第一个星期日,1/10 生日后)一周后就去了,可以从礼品店购买小瓶的治疗油、奖章、雕像和祈祷卡。我们还在那里偶然遇到了一位来自波士顿的年轻牧师,他是一名海军牧师和两个朋友。我们有幸在场,当时他在侧祭坛为我们四个人做弥撒。然后,他用真十字架的遗物祝福我们和我们新买的物品。真是一份礼物!!圣菲洛梅娜是一位坚持不懈、忠实、忠诚的圣人,她为我们代祷。我强烈推荐这次旅行!
