Good Saint Dymphna, great wonder worker in every affliction of mind and body, we humbly implore your powerful intercession with Jesus through Mary, for the health of the sick.
Saint Dymphna, patroness of persons with mental health conditions, always look out for those men and women, for their healing and recovery, and for an end to stigma and indifference in society.
Amen.

Saint Dymphna. pray for us!

Mental Health Novena Introductory Statement from Archbishop Borys Gudziak and Bishop Robert Barron...

Take your children to Mass.

BRING THEM TO CHURCH...Teach them about JESUS!
Bring them to church. Saturate their lives with the Word of God. Even if they lay on the floor. Even if they need 437 goldfish and a sucker to be quiet. Even if you stand in the back swaying back and forth holding them. Even when it’s hard. Even when when your row looks like a small hurricane just came through. Bring them to church. Let them see you worship. Let them see you pray. Let them see you running toward the Savior ... because if they don’t see and learn these things from you, who are they going to learn them from?

The world will teach them it’s not a priority. The world will teach them it’s okay to lay out, not to pick up their Bibles. The world will direct them so far off course, confuse them, and misinform them that just being “good” is enough. The world won’t teach them about Jesus. That’s our job!

Bring them to church.

“Confirmation must be understood in continuity with Baptism, into which it is inseparably linked. These two Sacraments, together with the Eucharist, form a
single saving event – called Christian Initiation – into which we are inserted into Jesus Christ, who died and rose, and become new creatures and members of the Church.”
Pope Francis, 2014
