O God, we beseech Thee through the intercession of St. Dymphna, glorious model of all virtues and powerful patroness of the afflicted, who did seal with her blood the love she bore Thee, her eternal Spouse, to hear our prayer and to grant relief to those in our midst who suffer from emotional, nervous and mental afflictions, so that by imitating her virtues and seeking her protection we may obtain peace of soul on earth and eternal happiness in heaven. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
