Prayer to Saint Dymphna

Portrait of Saint Dymphna, virgin and martyr.

Amen.

O Saint Dymphna,
bright lily of purity
and courageous witness to the light,

you left all to walk calmly
toward the crown of martyrdom.

You know the weight of grief
and the shadows of the mind.

Look with mercy on all who suffer,
and on all who love them.

Grant us peace of mind,
purity of heart, and trust in Christ.


Teach us to carry our crosses with hope,

to resist temptation, and to rest, like you, in the hand of God,

where no torment can touch us.


Faithful daughter, compassionate sister, pray for us,

that we may behold the face of God,

and rejoice with you in His kingdom.
