Publisher's Synopsis
9 days Novena to our patron saint
St. Dympna, also spelled as Dymphna, was born in the 7th century in Ireland. Her life story, while ancient, reverberates with timeless relevance. She is a symbol of resilience, a beacon of light in the darkest of times. Dympna, from her earliest days, exhibited a rare purity of heart and a profound empathy for those burdened by mental and emotional suffering.
This booklet provides an account of the background of St. Dympha, the historical narrative surrounding the veneration of her as the guardian saint of individuals facing mental and emotional challenges, along with a nine-day regimen designed to guide individuals towards dedicating themselves to the sacred heart of Jesus. It is dedicated to those who bear the burdens of mental affliction symbolized by the crown of thorns and to those who endeavor to mitigate such afflictions.
