PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT
Saint Augustine of Hippo
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, that my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, that I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, that I always may be holy.
Amen.

O God, Who endowed blessed Paschal, Your Confessor, with a wondrous love for the sacred mysteries of Your Body and Blood, mercifully grant that we may be found worthy to share in the same spiritual abundance he received in this divine banquet.
Who livest and reignest with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
R. Amen
Here is a very nice article on St Dymphna: St. Dymphna: Out of the Shadows of Mental Illness.
St Dymphna is Patron Saint of the Anxious, Mentally Ill, and those with Alzheimer’s Disease.
Little Biography of Ss. Dymphna and Gerebran, her Martyred Confessor
St Dymphna’s Mom was an Irish Christian, but died when she was around 12. Then her screwed up Pagan Dad, decided to want to pursue his own daughter as his next wife. She refused, and with the help, of her Confessor, Fr. Gerebran she fled Ireland, and made it to Gheel, Belgium. But, her dad followed her and her Confessor to Belgium, and again tried to get his way. The Confessor, Fr. Gerebran defended Dymphna, so her Dad killed him first. Then, he killed his own daughter, Dymphna.
St Dymphna and her Confessor both are Catholic Martyrs and that word ‘martyr’ means ‘witness’ to the True Faith. They died defending their own God-given dignity. That gives others, in similar situations cause for “courage.” Fortitude is a Gift of the Holy Spirit. Since Pentecost is on Sunday, take time to thank God for the many witnesses of that Gift of Fortitude in others.

Pray for the mentally ill, to find peace and eventually healing. Thanks.
Always Remember, when you are tempted to fret, that Jesus said,
“Let not your heart be troubled. Trust in God, Trust also, in Me.”
I am praying for the kid’s Uncle Mark.
May St Mark pray for us.

Belated thanks, to Saint Stanislaus, Patron Saint of Broken Bones. His feast day is April 11th. His brother beat him to the point of breaking his bones.
Us Catholics have Patron Saints for every situation. I was curious about him, tonight and I am glad I looked him up. I found a charming article about him, from Sister Martha’s Blog.

" The “door of faith” (Acts 14:27) is always open for us, ushering us into the life of communion with God and offering entry into his Church. It is possible to cross that threshold when the word of God is proclaimed and the heart allows itself to be shaped by transforming grace. To enter through that door is to set out on a journey that lasts a lifetime." Benedict XVI
