St. Dymphna Comments

He sent messengers throughout his town and other lands to find some woman of noble birth, resembling his wife, who would be willing to marry him.

    Dearest St. Dymphna, thank you so much for interceding with God for me. I have been through two really tough bouts of mental illness over the last five years, and you continue to be a source of strength for me. Thank you. I have hope. I have seen miracles.

    Saint Dymphna, I ask for your divine intercession in this time of great worry for me. 6 weeks ago, I used a drug that gave me a very bad trip, and has since made me anxious at all times, depressed and have psychosis. I hadn't ever suffered from mental illness before, and do not know what's happening right now, or if I'm thinking straight. I ask your help to cope, as it is very difficult and I am finding it tough to want to get out of bed any day. I had always gone to mass in my life, but in the past year, I have let myself slip. I had always prayed every night before, but in the past year, I almost stopped entirely. Now, I am praying to our Lord for help and forgiveness, and I ask that you help me in these prayers. Amen.

    Dear St. Dymphna,

    My daughter has a dual diagnosis of autism and ID (intellectual disability). She embraces her special needs and "loves her autism", she has such a pure heart and loving spirit. Please give me patience and understanding while we try to find ways to alleviate her severe anxiety. She desperately needs to find peace, her obsessing is beginning to take control of her life. She prays for help every night, please hear her prayers. Thank you St. Dymphna, In Jesus's name I pray. Amen.

    Dear Saint Dymphna, My sister’s granddaughter Steffi is suffering from mental retardation and she is 14 years old. Her head keeps shaking often and when we approached the doctors they said this can be cured only by God. Today God made me to come across your life and saint hood and to request you to pray for Steffi’s health.
