Philomena: A Saint for Our Times
Come hear the story of a young, virgin girl who withstood the abandonment of her parents, the temptations of the world, and the rage of an emperor, to become what Gregory XVI called "the Great Wonder-worker of the XIXth century"! Saint Philomena is an emblematic figure whose life and legacy resonate deeply with themes of faith, resilience, and divine intervention.
Born in the early Christian period, Philomena was the daughter of a pagan king. Her life took a dramatic turn when she chose to dedicate her life to God, opting for a vow of virginity over the expected path of marriage to a prominent ruler. This courageous decision resulted in her facing immense challenges, including:
Abandonment: After her parents were forced to relinquish her due to political strife and her religious commitments, Philomena's faith remained unshaken.
Temptations: Living in a world full of distractions and pressures, she continuously rejected temptations that could lead her away from her spiritual path.
Persecution: Her steadfastness in faith provoked the wrath of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, leading to her imprisonment and brutal torture in a bid to renounce her beliefs.
Despite the trials she faced, Philomena's story is not solely one of suffering. Many reported miraculous occurrences attributed to her intercession, asserting that she had the power to heal the sick, guide the lost, and provide comfort to those in turmoil. These miracles earned her the title of "Wonder-worker" and fostered strong devotion among the faithful.
Her shrine in Mugnano del Cardinale, Italy, became a pilgrimage site, drawing countless devotees who sought her intercessions and experienced transformative experiences in their lives. Philomena's story ultimately serves as a poignant reminder that no obstacle is insurmountable when one remains steadfast in their faith.
In contemporary discussions about saintly figures, Philomena's example is particularly pertinent for today’s challenges, as she embodies courage, perseverance, and a profound commitment to faith. Her legacy encourages individuals to face their own trials with strength and hope.
Join us to discover more about the impact of Saint Philomena's life and how her enduring spirit continues to inspire countless souls around the world.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
