For Those Who Suffer with Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia
We turn to you, dear St. Dymphna, in the confident hope that you will remember our special intention in the Presence of the Lord our God. To your caring intercession, we entrust those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, their families and friends, and all others who are seriously concerned about these disabling sicknesses so widespread in our time.
As patron of the nervous and emotionally disturbed, you are graciously channeling God’s healing power even to the seemingly hopeless cases. We believe that you will show the same compassion to persons afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Please pray with us that the medical teams involved in research may soon discover their cause and cure.
Dear St. Dymphna, now in heaven with God where there is “…no more death, no more grief or crying or pain…” (Rev. 21:4), you are our sign and beacon of hope. Be our direct channel to Jesus, the Divine Physician, and Healer of the Sick. With you, His faithful follower, we give thanks for all those who will regain health and wholeness in body, mind, and spirit. Amen.
