I’ve tried reaching her but she doesn’t seem to want to talk, just asks for prayers. Please pray for her!!! Thank you! Bless you all ahead of time for praying!

Dear Sister,

I know your sister will be in my prayers on a daily basis for her recovery from this tragic loss.
Praying she will be comforted to beyond a never-ending grief, and trusting in the Lord’s compassion, understanding, and love.

Our Father, Who Art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy Will be done,
On 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.

Amen

:blessyou:
 
Saint Dymphna, a great wonderworker in every affliction of mind and body, I humbly implore your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, the Health of the Sick.

You are filled with love and compassion for the thousands of patients brought to your shrine for centuries, and for those who cannot come to your shrine but invoke you in their own homes or in hospitals. Show the same love and compassion toward us, your faithful clients. The many miracles and cures which have been wrought through your intercession give us great confidence that you will help us in our present need.

I am confident of obtaining my request, if it is for the greater glory of God and the good of my soul. For the sake of Jesus and Mary, whom you loved so earnestly, and for whom you offered your life in martyrdom, grant our prayer.

Saint Dymphna, young and beautiful, innocent and pure, help us to imitate your love of purity. You chose to be martyred by your own father’s sword rather than consent to sin. Give us strength and courage in fighting off the temptations of the world and evil desires. As you have given all the love of your heart to Jesus, help us to love God with our whole heart and serve Him faithfully. As you bore the persecution of your father and the sufferings of an exile so patiently, obtain for us the patience we need to accept the trials of our life with loving resignation to the will of God.

Saint Dymphna, through your glorious martyrdom for the love of Christ, help us to be loyal to our faith and our God as long as we live. And when the hour of our own death comes, stand at our side and pray for us that we may at last merit the eternal crown of glory in God’s Kingdom.

Good Saint Dymphna, I beg you to recommend our request to Mary, the Health of the Sick and Comforter of the Afflicted, that both Mary and you may present it to Jesus, the Divine Physician.

O God, You gave Saint Dymphna to Your Church as a model of all virtues, especially holy purity, and willed that she should seal her faith with her innocent blood and perform numerous miracles. Grant that we who honor her as patroness of those afflicted with nervous and mental illness may continue to enjoy her powerful intercession and protection and attain eternal life. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Mourning for a dad takes 2 years. Is she terribly sad, which is natural or depressed ? Nowadays, society does not allow people to mourn and that takes a toll on the psyche. One must be smiling even on funeral. It is cruel.

My cousin took changing doctors 4 times before he got well. It is not a question of being bad doctors, but I think psychiatric drugs are at its infancy.

Knowing nothing and guessing all, I would go for a very deep love for your dad and a deep mourning that she MUST have. She must be sad so that deep wound will heal. The more she loved her dad, the deeper the wound, the longer the healing. Guessing, as I said.
 
Remembering your sister in my daily prayers. May God bless you both. 🙂
 
Mother Mary, I commend Mlz’s sister to you. Help her to have faith. Help her to trust in God. Help her to carry her cross with patience and love. Amen.
 
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.
 
Praying for you and your sister:gopray2:

Heavenly Father, hear our prayers. Amen…Amen…Amen.

God Bless! you always:heart:
 
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

Dear MLZ,

I’d forgotten to mention previously how long I grieved after my own father’s death, which I didn’t think would last as long as it did. Identifying with your sister’s grieving, and still praying that in God’s time, as always, she will given peace and many blessings.

I take refuge in You.
Teach me to do Your will,
For You are my God;
Let Your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

In Your righteousness bring my soul out of trouble. Psalm 143:9-11

Dear Father, You in Your lofty abode look down deep into the hearts of all who are seeking You. Thank you for Your Love and Your Mercy. Thank you for mlz’s love for his/her sister. Let Your presence be known to both mlz and to his/her sister. Open the sister’s eyes to renewed faith in Your promises, and let her trust be in You, the Rock. Please forgive us our sins. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
