I know of saint philomena by the prayer "Help me to obtain purity so I may understand the perfect love of god" I am not pure, and I love this saint, I know nothing about her, but she brings me peace.
she feels close to me when I pray that prayer. pray for me
You certainly came to the right saint when asking for help with purity. I believe St Philomena is second only to Blessed Mother in that regard.
That sounds like an amazing experience! Especially seeing the place where St. Catherine spoke with the Theotokos. Going to Paris is a dream of mine!
The basilica website is really neat. I love how the information is presented, and the pictures are great. Thanks for the link!
