st. dymphna

I believe in the power of prayer and often ask others to pray for me, for those I love, and for those in need both in my community and throughout the world. Just as I ask my earthly friends to pray, I also ask my heavenly friends (the Saints) to pray.

St. Dymphna is the patron saint of neurological disorders and so she is one I often ask to pray alongside me for the needs of my patients.

St. Dymphna was born to an Irish pagan king in the 7th century. St. Dymphna’s mother secretly raised her as a Christian and she committed her life to God. After St. Dymphna’s mother died, her father was stricken by grief to the degree that he lost his mind. St. Dymphna was the one most critically affected by his illness. For this reason we ask for her intercession especially in cases where someone is experiencing a mental or neurological challenge.

St. Dymphna, Pray for us!
