Dearest and most holy Saint Dymphna, I pray for your intercession, coupled with that of the Immaculate Heart of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, for the urgent healing of my friend Donna in North Carolina. She is battling Parkinson's disease and has recently developed paranoia, depression and gross mistrust of her beautiful and loving husband. She is creating a prison for them both and is delusional. I offer her suffering up for the salvation of souls and plead that you take pity on her and bring many prays to our Lord for her release of this torture. Saint Dymphna, my new friend, please hear my prayer and divinely intercede, in Jesus' name, Amen. Dana
