Starets Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 St. Dymphna seems a good choice off th top of my head, but, there are probably others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Maria Goretti is the patron of crime victims, and St. Rita is the patron of victims of domestic violence. I was stalked for 18 months in the early '90's. I prayed to St. Michael. He's the patron of police, and I liked the idea of how powerful a figure he seemed to be.

missionseeker Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 [quote]Daughter of a pagan Irish chieftain named Damon, and a beautiful devoted Christian woman whose name has not come down to us. Her mother died when Dymphna was a teenager. Her father searched the Western world for a woman to replace his wife, but none could. Returning home, he saw that his daughter was as beautiful as her mother, and maddened by grief, he made advances on her. She fought him off, then fled to Belgium with Saint Gerebernus, an elderly priest and family friend. Dymphna's father searched for them, and his search led to Belgium. There an innkeeper refused to accept his money, knowing it was difficult to exchange. This told Damon that his daughter was close - it would be unusual for a village innkeeper to know a lot about foreign currency, and his knowledge indicated that had recently seen it. The king concentrated his search in the area. When he found them in Gheel, he beheaded Gerebernus, and demanded that Dymphna surrender to him. She refused, and he killed her in a rage. The site where she died is known for its miraculous healings of the insane and possessed. There is now a well-known institution on the site, and her relics are reported to cure insanity and epilepsy.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapaHilarious Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Yeah, I was going to say St. Dymphna too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sister Rose Therese Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Oh, there is another young girl recently beatified or canonized by Pope John Paul II from Mexico I think. She was stalked and killed, but I can remember her name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old_Joe Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I'd agree on St. Maria Goretti and especially St. Dymphna because she is also the patroness of people suffering from mental illness. Oftentimes, stalkers are suffering from some sort of mental illness, usually to the effect where they believe they have a serious relationship with the person. Also, St. Agnes of Rome and St. Agatha were consecrated virgins who were martyred for not giving in to the sexual advances of others. St. Quirnis is the patron saint of people dealing with demonic obsession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
