Is it weird that I, a Protestant, asked St Dymphna for help and feel that she gave it?

I was having some bad mood swings and read she’s the patron saint of nervous or mental disorders. I did a Novena to her and read the prayer that’s on her card, and felt instantly calm. I seriously didn’t get grumpy or anything a couple of days.

I got distracted the past couple of day and didn’t do the prayers and had a not so good time with my moods. I really feel she helps my mood swings and all.

Is it weird even though I’m not a Catholic at this moment I feel she’s helped me a bunch?

Thanks!

Dear Kat,

Of course, it was the Lord who has helped you, but as the result of St. Dymphna’s prayers. There is nothing wrong with a Protestant asking for prayers from a saint in heaven.

Since you seem so comfortable asking for such prayer, perhaps the Lord is drawing you to the Catholic Church. You are in my prayers.
