LOVAS1K, S.V.D. DIVINE WORD MISSIONARY PUBLICATIONS Techny, Illinois FOREWORD The most serious medical problem facing our nation is that presented by nervous and mental diseases. About eight million per- sons are thus afflicted. One out of every twenty persons in the United States is emo- tionally or mentally maladjusted and needs treatment for some personality disorder. More than half the patients who visit their family doctor for some physical ailment are really suffering from some type of emotional disorder. Nervous and mental disease takes a larger toll than do cancer, infantile paraly- sis, and tuberculosis combined. More than half of all the hospital beds in this country are occupied by mental patients. These are startling facts and present the reason for the need of this booklet. We need a patron for people suffering from nervous and mental diseases. There is such a patron but not many people in the United States have even heard of her. She is Saint Dymphna. These pages will tell her story. May devotion to Saint Dymphna (pro- nounced: dimf-na) become a source of hope not only for those suffering from mental and nervous illness, but also for those whose friends and loved ones are so afflicted.

  • St. Dymphna Feast: May 15
    St. Dymphna Feast: May 15 Dymphna was born in Ireland sometime in the seventh century to a pagan father and devout Christian mother. When she was fourteen, she consecrated herself to Christ and took a vow of chastity. Soon afterward, her mother died and her father - who had loved his wife deeply - began to suffer a rapid deterioration of his mental stability. So unhinged was Dymphna's father, Damon, that the King's counselors suggested he remarry. Though he was still grieving for his wife, he agreed to remarry if a woman as beautiful as she could be found. Damon sent messengers throughout his town and other lands to find woman of noble birth who resembled his wife and would be willing to marry him, but when none could be found, his evil advisors whispered sinful suggestions to marry his own daughter. So twisted were Damon's thoughts that he recognized only his wife when he looked upon Dymphna, and so he consented to the arrangement. When she heard of her father's misguided plot, Dymphna fled her castle with her confessor, a priest named Gerebran, two trusted servants, and the king's fool. The group sailed toward what is now called Belgium, and hid in the town of Geel. Though it becomes uncertain what exactly happened next, the best-known version claims the group settled in Geel, where Dymphna built a hospital for the poor and sick, but in using her wealth, her father was able to discover her location. When Damon found his daughter was in Belgium, he traveled to Geel and captured them.

    Ruben Suykerbuyk - 9789004433106 Downloaded from Brill.com10/06/2021 04:56:40AM via free access Chapter 9 Devotional Negotiation with the Archducal Government Over the course of August 1616, some four years after the miracles had resumed, the Zoutleeuw authorities were approached by a high- ranked military officer. A delegation of representatives of church and city, consisting of the dean of the collegiate chapter, the burgomas- ter and a churchwarden, was sent to the nearby town of Sint-Truiden for a meeting with an unidentified commisaris Generael, about ‘the holy relic of our patron Saint Leonard’.1 This was to be the first in a series of intense and relatively costly negotiations to obtain a relic of Saint Leonard for the collegiate church, the meetings for which took place primarily in Brussels during the first weeks of November. The parish priest, the burgomaster and a messenger, each in turn, went to the court city to follow up on the developments in the case.2 These meetings proved to be fruitful: on 14 November a deed of gift was drawn up before a Brussels notary. The document declared that Don Luis de Velasco, general of the light cavalry of the Spanish army in the Low Countries and presumably the man referred to as com- misaris Generael, donated part of Saint Leonard’s cranium to the Zoutleeuw church, as he was convinced that it would be venerated there with due reverence. With this in mind, he handed over the relic to Abbot Godfried Lemmens (r. 1609–1627) of Vlierbeek Abbey, one of the two patrons of the Zoutleeuw church.3
