Prayer to Saint Dymphna
**“Saint Dymphna, faithful servant of God and compassionate intercessor for those who suffer, hear my prayer.
Intercede for me in this season and bring my needs before God.
Where my mind is troubled, pray for peace.
Where my heart is heavy, pray for comfort.
Where fear has entered, pray for courage.
Where confusion remains, pray for clarity.
Where hope has grown weak, help me remember that another day can bring new possibilities.
Saint Dymphna, walk in prayer beside those who struggle silently.
Remember those who feel overwhelmed.
Remember those who are grieving.
Remember those who cannot find rest.
Remember those who feel alone in their suffering.
Pray also for the people entrusted with their care.
Give caregivers patience.
Give families compassion.
Give counselors wisdom.
Give healthcare professionals discernment.
And guide those who need assistance toward trustworthy people who can help them.
May my home know peace.
May my nights know rest.
May my thoughts become calmer.
May my spirit find strength for another day.
Saint Dymphna, intercede for me that I may walk forward surrounded by faith, compassion, wisdom, and hope.
May peace return little by little, day by day.
Saint Dymphna, pray for us.”
