Many years ago, a friend of mine who knew that I suffered from depression and anxiety gave me a medal of Our Lady of Mental Peace. I've worn it along with a cross and Miraculous Medal around my neck ever since. I never realized there was a prayer associated with it until the other day, when someone posted it on Facebook because May is both the month of Mary and a month dedicated to mental health awareness.
OUR LADY OF MENTAL PEACE PRAYER
O Lady of Mental Peace,
Mother of Tranquility and
Mother of Hope,
look upon me in this time
of disquiet and weakness.
Still my restless spirit,
teach my searching heart to know
that God's love for me
is unchanging and that the suffering
which He may will for me now
is to draw me closer to Him.
Let thy gentle peace and His ---
which the world cannot give ---
be always with me, that I may
be sanctified: and then:
I beseech thee
for the grace to bring this
peace to others.
Jesus, My Savior, I give myself
entirely to Thee through Mary:
Our Lady of Mental Peace,
pray for me!
