I am, unfortunately, epileptic, and have been for a very long time. My seizures are generally well controlled, but have been reappearing lately. After a long night in prayer, I was–through the grace of God–able, for the first time in my life, to stave off a full grand mal seizure after experiencing the strong aura that invariably precedes one. I am aware that my condition pales in comparison to many of the others on this forum, and I urge you to keep them in your prayers first and foremost, but I still hope that if you have but a moment of time to spare you recite the following prayer in the name of all who share my condition:

"Lord Jesus,
you took pity on the blind Bartimaeus
and healed him;
you raised Lazarus from the dead
and freed Mary Magdalen from seven
devils to count her among your disciples.

You made the blind see, the deaf hear,
the dumb speak, the lame walk,
you cleansed lepers and cast out demons.
You preached the Good News to the poor
and bless those who are faithful to you.

Through the intercession of your
faithful martyr, Genesius,
grant your healing and consolation to the sick.
Give them the strength to carry their Cross
in union with you.

Help us to remain faithful to you in health
and in suffering, conformed to your Cross;
open our hearts to your will
so your grace may transform our lives. Amen."

If you or someone you know has epilepsy, feel free to post about it here, and if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer them.

May the Lord be with you and hold you in the palm of His hand.
 
Please help us dear Lord,…

Hail Mary full of grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
 
*Dear smithsyndicate,
What a wonderful prayer! I am a nurse and I care for Pediatric patients and some of them deal with epilepsy.
You remain in my prayers!
God Bless you,
Angel Face
 
I will offer you up in prayer to St Dymphna, patron saint of mental and nervous disorders!

Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession.

Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all suffering such trials, and especially those for whom we pray.

For smithsyndicate, and all who suffer from epilepsy.

We beg you, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray patience in their sufferings and resignation to your divine will. Please fill them with hope, and grant them the relief and cure they so much desire.

We ask this through Christ our Lord who suffered agony in the garden. Amen.
 
Lord Jesus,
you took pity on the blind Bartimaeus
and healed him;
you raised Lazarus from the dead
and freed Mary Magdalen from seven
devils to count her among your disciples.

You made the blind see, the deaf hear,
the dumb speak, the lame walk,
you cleansed lepers and cast out demons.
You preached the Good News to the poor
and bless those who are faithful to you.

Through the intercession of your
faithful martyr, Genesius,
grant your healing and consolation to the sick.
Give them the strength to carry their Cross
in union with you.

Help us to remain faithful to you in health
and in suffering, conformed to your Cross;
open our hearts to your will
so your grace may transform our lives.
Amen.
