I have been praying a novena to St Jude, patron of hopeless causes. I’d like to ask everyone to join me in remembering those with debilitating mental illness in their prayers.

The mentally ill are often forgotten and ignored, resources to help these people who may never be independently functional are scarce and they are ostracized from society because of their inability to interact. Many cannot even recognize their illness and those with insight suffer severe depression because they can’t overcome the demons assaulting them daily.

People with bad mental illnesses… OCD, Schizophrenia, Psychosis, Dementia, Depression are truly the lepers of modern society. Please remember them in your prayers and offer them your love.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art thou amoungst women,
And blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of death,
Amen:signofcross:

I’ve been depressed for many years. If you met me, I doubt that you would be able to notice my depression. To most I look and seem normal. Most of the people that I would see socially, don’t ask me to join them very much any more. This started several years ago at the onset of my depression. Lonliness is unbearable at times.

Praying!!!
 
I pray to St. Dymphna daily for all who are suffering mental and nervous disorders, especially for all here on CAF.
Prayer in Honor Of St. Dymphna

Lord, 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. (Here mention those for whom you wish to pray).
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
