StDymphna,I ask for intercession too God theFather.Thru your intercession I ask for help to help myself like you did so courageously from your father.I am so overwhelmed r/t my depression, pain and difficulty surrendering too God, and deficits from stroke.

Praying for all in this group

Praying for all the members in this group today who feel weary and burdened. My heart feels heavy at the moment but I am praying for positive change and for St dymphna to protect me and intercede for me.

Really struggling with depression today. I cannot even pray

This stained glass window depicting St. Dymphna is located at Immaculate Conception Church in Moultrie, Georgia.
More specifically, it is found in the confessional.
I like how some of the panes are translucent, allowing one to see the pine trees behind it.

Praying for you, RileyG

St. Dymphna, please pray for me, i feel at the end of the rope. Amen.
Holy One, Might One, Immortal One, have mercy upon us and on the whole world. Amen.

Prayer for Mental Peace

(Although this is a prayer addressed to Mary rather than St. Dymphna, it addresses the desire for mental peace which, naturally, is something that I think many who are devoted to St. Dymphna would be interested in. I found this on a prayer card.)

O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of tranquility
and Mother of hope,
look upon me in this time
of my weakness and unrest.

Teach my searching heart
to know that God's love for me
is unchanging and unchangable;
and, that true human love
can only begin and grow
by touching his love.

Let your gentle peace
- which this world cannot give -
be always with me.
And, help me to bring this same peace
into the lives of others.

Our Lady of Mental Peace,
-pray for me!

The League of St. Dymphna

Lsheard's comments about his brother prompted me to let everyone know about the League of St. Dymphna. It is operated by the National Shrine of St. Dymphna in Massillon, Ohio, where league members are remembered at Mass and devotions on an regular basis. For more information concerning enrollment, please visit this website:

As a side note, I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to make three different pilgrimages to this shrine.

Hello all. I'm new to these forums and relatively new to the Catholic faith (14months). My 21 year old brother has had epilepsy his whole life, been depressed the last couple of years and now was recently diagnosed with schizophrenia. He and my still-Protestant parents, are struggling tremendously. Any uplifting thoughts, stories or resources I can pass along to them? I recently discovered St. Dymphna and am praying to her when I can. I'm also securing my brother to be baptized this month...he 'slipped through the cracks' of our Protestant household growing up. Anyway, thanks for your help.
