When she was fourteen, she May 12, 2019 consecrated herself to Christ and took a vow of Acts 13:14, 43–52 chastity. Soon afterward, her mother died and her When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled father who had loved his wife deeply began to with jealousy and with violent abuse contradicted suffer a rapid deterioration of his mental stability. what Paul said. So unhinged was Dymphna's father, Damon, that the King's counselors suggested he remarry. Though he Revelation 7:9, 14b–17 was still grieving for his wife, he agreed to remarry if I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one a woman as beautiful as she could be found. could count, from every nation, race, people, and Damon sent messengers throughout his town and tongue. other lands to find woman of noble birth who resem- bled his wife and would be willing to marry him, but John 10:27–30 when none could be found, his evil advisors whis- [Jesus said,] “My sheep hear my voice; I know pered sinful suggestions to marry his own daughter. them, and they follow me.” 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 Dymphna refused, Damon –14 became enraged and drew his sword. He struck Dymphna's head from her shoulders and left her there. When she died, Dymphna was only fifteen yearsold. After her father left Geel, the residents collected both Dymphna and Gerebran's remains and laid them to rest in a cave. In defense of her purity, Dymphna received the crown of martyrdom around the year 620 and became known as the "Lily of Éire. In 1349, a church honoring St. Dymphna was built in Geel, and by 1480, so many pilgrims were arriving in need of treatment for mental ills, that the church was expanded. The expanded sanctuary was eventually overflowing again, leaving the townspeople to accept them into their homes, which began a tradition of care for the mentally ill that continues to this day. Unfortunately, in the 15th century, the original St. Dymphna Church in Geel burned to the ground, and the magnificent Church of St. Dymphna was erected and consecrated in 1532, where it still stands above the location her body was originally buried. Many miracles have been proven to take place at her shrine in the church erected in her honor, and her remains were placed in a silver reliquary in the church. Some of her remains can also be found at the Shrine to Saint Dymphna in the United States. The priest who had helped Dymphna was also sainted, and his remains were moved to Xanten, Germany. The United States National Shrine of Saint Dymphna is at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Massillon, Ohio and St. Dymphna's Special School can be found in ballina, County Mayo, Republic of Ireland. Saint Dymphna is the patroness of those suffering nervous and mental afflictions as well as victims of incest. Traditionally, Saint Dymphna is often portrayed with a crown on her head, dressed in royal robes, and holding a sword. In modern art, Saint Dymphna is shown holding the sword, which symbolizes her martyrdom, quite awk- wardly. She is also often shown holding a lamp, while some holy cards feature her wearing green and white, holding a book and white lilies. 3 FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER FESTIVAL NEWS MEETINGS: May 13 6:00PM Amer.

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.

    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
