***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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 our death.

Amen***

Father,

Please hear our prayers for one of your children so he may beat this disease that hangs around his neck as a yolk…
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
 
Father please revive the priest’s hope and fervor. Father please bless him with whatever help he need to treat and to overcome his depression, his discouragement.
Father please grant our prayers in the name of Your Son Jesus who called him into the priestly vocation.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil. Amen
 
Praying for the priest struggling with depression. Just wondering whether there would be any places in your diocese where priests could seek help in such cases, also where priests who do not have such problems could go just to recharge themselves. I know priests go for retreats to recharge spiritually but someplace where they could get some emotional recharging. I know of one such place, of course it’s in Sri Lanka where I live, and was started by a Sri Lankan priest of the Blessed Sacrament community.
He is a counselor and did spend about 12 years in Chicago as well prior to returning to his home country. I am sure there must be places like that in the US
The website is eymardhouseofpriests.org Just wish and pray there would be more places like this organized by dioceses to support our priests.
 
Mother Mary we ask for you to intercede on behalf of one of our Church’s priests with God our Father, God Your Son and God the Holy Spirit of that he may be delivered from the grasps of depression. Amen.
 
For deliverance from depression.

**Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May GOD rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of GOD, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl this world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen

O glorious Prince St. Michael,
chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls,
vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King,
and our admirable conductor,
thou who dost shine with excellence and superhuman virtue,
vouchsafe to deliver us from all evil,
who turn to thee with confidence,
and enable us by thy gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully every day.
Amen.

Pray for us, O Glorious St. Michael, Prince of the Church of Jesus Christ.
That we may be made worthy of His Promises.

Praise and glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!**

I too suffer from Mental Illness. People get treated horribly I know. But god gave us St. Dymphna and St. Philomena(the Wonder Worker) I went on a pilgrimmage to her shrine in Mugnano Del Cardinale Italy in March…What an experience. some of the best saints we have, have had dark years, not just days. I will be praying for your priest tonight
 
Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with mental and nervous disorders and Spiritual afflictions. 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: for this dear priest.
**
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.
 
Praying for this much loved and valued priest to be delivered from his depression. St. Dymphna please pray for him.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Amen.


PATER NOSTER, qui es in caelis, sanctificetur nomen tuum.
*** Adveniat regnum tuum. ***
***Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra. ***
***Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie, ***
***et dimitte nobis debita nostra sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris. ***
***Et ne nos inducas in tentationem, ***
***sed libera nos a malo. ***
Amen.

***AVE MARIA, gratia plena, Dominus tecum. ***
***Benedicta tu in mulieribus, ***
***et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. ***
***Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. ***
Amen.

***GLORIA PATRI, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. ***
***Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. ***
Amen.

In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. ***
