Saint Dymphna is the patroness saint of stress, anxiety, and mental health conditions. I received a prayer card from a friend several years ago. The source for the prayer is J.B. CO.
Prayer to St. Dymphna
Lord, our God, you graciously chose St. Dymphna as patroness of those afflicted with stress, anxiety, and mental health conditions. She is thus an inspiration and a symbol of charity to the thousands who ask her intercession.
Please grant, Lord, through the prayers of this pure youthful martyr, relief and consolation to all of us suffering such trials, and especially those for whom we pray. (Here mention those for whom we wish to pray, including ourselves.)
We beg you, Lord, to hear the prayers of St. Dymphna on our behalf. Grant all those for whom we pray (and ourselves) patience in their (our) sufferings and resignation to your divine will. Please fill them (us)with hope, and grant them (us) the relief and cure they (we) so much desire.
We ask this through Christ our Lord, who suffered agony in the garden. Amem
I cannot think of a better prayer to help us with the following Recovery steps.
2. We are powerless over our condition and believe a spiritual presence in our lives is the pathway to freedom.
4. We share our Plan of Recovery with a spiritual being and at least one other person.
6. We decide to rely on the will of our Higher Power rather than going it alone.
7. We humbly accept the Higher Powers’ and other persons’ unconditional love, compassion, and presence in our lives.
11. We recognize that Recovery is a journey. We seek wisdom through prayer, reflection, imagery, or mindfulness, improving our conscious contact with our Higher Power and having the strength to take action.
12. We gain self-awareness and insight into our Recovery as a result of listening to the will of our Higher Power. We model these steps, making them real in our lives, and support the growth of our brothers and sisters in Recovery.
Have a beautiful weekend. Do one self-care activity over the weekend. I would love hearing what you did. Send me a quick email: ljw@superhumanbeing.net
