A Prayer Against Depression
O Christ Jesus, when all is darkness and
we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength. Help us
to have perfect trust in Your protecting love
And strengthening power, so that nothing
may frighten or worry us, For, living close
to You, we shall see Your hand, Your purpose,
Your Will through all things. Amen.
By St. Ignatius of Loyola
Prayer of St. Dymphna
Lord, our God, You graciously chose St. Dymphna as
patroness of those afflicted with mental, emotional, 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 – especially people with depression.
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 desire. We ask this through Christ our Lord,
who suffered agony in the garden. Amen.
