Prayer to Saint Dymphna for Mental and Emotional Illness
Lord Jesus Christ, You have willed that Saint Dymphna should be invoked by thousands of clients as the patroness of those afflicted with nervous and mental disorders.
You have brought it about that her interest in these patients should be an inspiration to and an ideal of charity throughout the world.
Grant that, through the prayers of this youthful martyr of purity, those who suffer from nervous and emotional illnesses everywhere on earth may be helped and consoled.
I recommend to You in particular (here mention those for whom you wish to pray).
Be pleased to hear the prayers of Saint Dymphna and of Your Blessed Mother, the Health of the Sick and Comforter of the Afflicted, in behalf of those whom I recommend to the love and compassion of Your Sacred Heart.
Give them patience to bear with their affliction and resignation to do Your Divine Will.
Give them the consolation they need and especially the cure they so much desire, if it be Your Will.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
If you are struggling, please also talk to a licensed counselor or doctor, a priest, and someone you trust. If you are in crisis in the U.S., call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or call 911 in an emergency.
