Please pray for mentally ill and those with emotional problems. This includes me. I have been struggling recently and it is difficult to love God in these moments.
 
Holy Mother, please intercede for us.
Hold the sorrowful, strengthen the fearful,
give aid to all needing help or healing,
assist those who are sick, in pain or suffering,
be with those needing peace, console the lonely,
comfort the lost or hopeless, guard the unborn,
pray for those who are dying or who have died,
soften those with hardened hearts,
enlighten those who do not yet see truth,
help us be brave enough to let our hurt and anger go,
show us the way to do the right thing,
protect those who are in danger,
and guide us from every evil.
May all who keep your sacred commemoration
experience the might of your assistance.
Amen

Praying to St Dymphnia for you & for all affected with mental & emotional illness.
 
Eternal God , in whom mercy is endless,
and the treasury of compassion inexhastible ,
look kindly upon us and increase Your mercy in us ,
that in difficult moments we might not despair
nor become despondent , but with great confidence ,
submit ourselves to Your Holy Will ,
which is love and mercy itself . 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
 
We should be doing more than praying for the mentally ill. In our times this growing illness in all its forms should be a special vocation for the Catholic Church throughout the world.
What an example to the world, what an offering to our God. My poor sad prayers are with you. May Jesus and His beloved Mother bring you closer to Him every day, and may your sufferings be lessened in His love.
 
St Christina the astonishing is the patron saint for mental illness.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now nd at the hour of death,
Amen
 
Prayer to Saint Luke:

Most charming and saintly Physician, you were animated by the heavenly Spirit of love. In faithfully detailing the humanity of Jesus, you also showed his divinity and his genuine compassion for all human beings. Inspire our physicians with your professionalism and with the divine compassion for their patients. Enable them to cure the ills of both body and spirit that afflict so many in our day.

Amen.
 
Prayer to Saint Dymphna

In nervous and emotional distress

I turn to you dear vigin and martyr, confident of your power with God, and your willingness to take my cause into your hands.

I praise and bless the Lord for giving you to us as patron of the nervous and emotionally disturbed.

I firmly hope that through your kind intercession He will restore my lost serenity and peace of mind.

May He speak to my heart and reassure me: “My Peace I give you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.”

Pray for me dear St. Dymphna, that my nervous and emotional turmoil may cease, and that I again may know serenity and personal peace.
Amen.
 
Good Saint Dymphna, great wonder-worker in every affliction of mind and body, I humbly implore your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, the Health of the Sick, in my present need, for edarlitrix and all mentally ill members of CAF. Saint Dymphna, martyr of purity, patroness of those who suffer with nervous and mental afflictions, beloved child of Jesus and Mary, pray to Them for me and obtain my request.

(Pray one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one Glory Be.)

Saint Dymphna, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us.
 
:gopray:

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now ever shall be world without end
Amen.

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

I recall a recent post from a person that was going through a spiritually ‘dry’ period, and they were struggling with praying to the Saints for intercession. They commented that a great number of the Saints came off as being mentally ill. I remember thinking that this, to me, is the general world view of anyone who is actively engaged in their faith.

It’s encouraging to me that my doubts about my own mental stability may mean that I’m simply ‘worldly’ unstable, but, in terms of faith, moving in the right direction.
Just a possibility to consider.
😉
Still praying.
