St Dymphna

 

Lord, God, 

You who have graciously chosen Santa Dymphna

to be the patroness of those who suffer 

mental illnesses and nervous disorders

 and you have turned it into an inspiration and symbol of charity 

To so many who invoke his intercession, he grants,

 Through the prayers of this pure young martyr,

Help and comfort to all who suffer 

these tribulations especially 

(Here the name of the person by whom it is invoked is mentioned).

Please accept and listen to the prayers of 

Santa Dymphna in his name.

Grant to those whom I particularly call upon you,

Patience in their sufferings and resignation to 

Your divine will.

Fill them with hope, and according to Your divine desires,

Grant them the cure they so fervently desire. 

Through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.
