WHO WAS ST. DYMPHNA?
St. Dymphna was the only child of King Damon of Ireland during the 7th century. After her mother (the queens) death, St. Dymphnas father mental health began to deteriorate rapidly. King Damon was suggested to remarry as he grieved his wifes death and sought to marry a woman who looked like his deceased wife. In King Damons ill mind, he sought to marry his own daughter. Seeking to defend her purity and faith, St. Dymphna fled to Belgium at 15 years old. King Damon found her and attempted to convince her once more to marry him. St. Dymphna refused. Her father was enraged, drew his sword, and beheaded his daughter. St. Dymphna received the crown of martyrdom and is the patron saint of those who suffer with nervousness, mental illness, and victims of incest and domestic abuse. She inspires us to be resilient against evil and have hope in God, trusting that he will never forget us.
