PRAYER IN HONOUR OF
ST. DYMPHNA

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.

I pray for all my family members afflicted with mental illness, all the priests I have known, members of my parish, for myself and all those here at CAF who struggle with emotional or mental illnesses.

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.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Loving God,

Please hear the persistent prayers and petitions of your loving children in this intention. Please bless and have mercy on all your people suffering from all sorts of mental diseases, and especially depression, panic/anxiety attacks, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, ocd, Alzheimers, and related maladies. Please help them not to lose hope, to maintain a strong faith, to follow the remedies and improvement strategies of their medical care givers, and cure them if it be your Holy will. Please bless all who minister to these folks, especially close family and the medical care givers that we might help these special people to prosper and live out their calling with joy and peace.

I pray especially for Georgia, for Dean, for Holly3278, for Diane, for tbcrawford’s relative, for hyldad, for Lorraine, for pollylodges, for Roux, for RileyG, for Topaz1128, for Dan, and for three of my family members.

Merciful Mother of the Mentally Ill
Sweet and lovely Lady
Who came to Tepeyac Hill
Put your arms around me
For I am mentally ill.
Shield me and protect me
From fear, anxiety, and pain;
For my illness will not let me
Rejoice and know the gain.
Sweet and lovely Lady
Full of Grace, so heavenly
Put your arms around me
And hold me tenderly.
For you, my hope, are always near
Speak the words I need to hear:
“Oh, my child, Be Calm, Be still.
I am your Merciful Mother,
Mother of the Mentally ill.”
Amen.

Lord you made Saint Benedict Joseph Labre
a Saint, and he suffered from mental illness;
O LORD, heal all the mentally ill.
Amen.
