Hi,

I know someone from church who was born with brain damage, who has mental handicaps. I enjoy spending time with him, and he prays for everyone whenever he can. His name is Rodney. I also know other people with mental handicaps, such as Down’s Syndrome and I want you to pray for them, especially all the unborn children in danger of being aborted by their parents because they have been diagnosed with Down’s Syndrome or other mental handicaps or disabilities, learning, cogntive, or otherwise. God loves even the most paralyzed or comatose person, and I still believe that each person, even the braindead, still participate in prayer with God somehow, because they set us an example of charity, and give us an opportunity to grow in love for the suffering and disabled. They humble us, and force us to rethink our priorities to those of God’s and not our own. There have been times where I was going to give up on somethingand I was inspired by the efforts of someone with Down’s Syndrome or severe mental retardation who cheered me up and told me with joy to keep trying.

Here are the patron saints of people with mental handicaps:
•Amabilis
•Benedict Joseph Labre
•Bertha of Avenay
•Bibiana
•Christina the Astonishing
•Drogo
•Dymphna
•Eustochium of Padua
•Fillan
•Giles
•Job
•Margaret of Cortona
•Maria Fortunata Viti
•Medard
•Michelina
•Moloc of Mortlach
•Osmund
•Philomena
•Raphaela
•Romanus of Condat
•Veran

Pray for us!
