The Feast Day of St. Dymphna

Today is the feast day of St. Dymphna. She is the partron saint for people with anxiety, depression, emotional pain, mental illness and sexual abuse. I have several of her medals and prayers that I use when I feel anxious or deeply upset.

I just lit my St. Dymphna candle from her national shrine in Ohio.


I don't feel that Saint Dymphna cares what religious faith you come from, only that you come to her with a true need and wish to be helped. Her energy to me is, as I have written before, is gentle and kind.

Wishing you all a peaceful Monday.
