St Christina the Astonishing (Patron for People with Mental illness) – Irish Blessing Oil

St. Christina the Astonishing, a remarkable and deeply revered figure in Christian history, honored as the patron saint of those experiencing mental illness. Born in late 12th-century Belgium, Christina’s life filled with extraordinary spiritual experiences and immense challenges. Her journey, although difficult, revealed resilience, unshakable faith, and a deep connection to God.

At the age of 22, Christina fell severely ill. This illness left her in a state of suspended animation, and she believed to have died. However, during her funeral Mass, she suddenly awoke, leaving witnesses astonished. From that moment forward, her life changed dramatically. She shared vivid visions of heaven, hell, and purgatory. As a result, her spirituality deepened, and she began living in a profoundly unconventional way, devoted entirely to God.

Moreover, Christina chose to separate herself from society. She often withdrew into solitude, feeling a strong bond with the suffering and marginalized. While her behavior frequently misunderstood, her compassion for those in distress remained constant. Despite her unusual actions, her empathy and love never wavered.

To honor her incredible legacy, A Blessed Call to Love created the Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to St. Christina. Each bottle is carefully blended with natural ingredients, thoughtfully chosen to capture her essence. Additionally, these oils are prayerfully prepared by our team, ensuring each one carries spiritual intention and heartfelt reverence.

Furthermore, every oil comes with a beautifully designed prayer card dedicated to St. Christina. This card encourages users to reflect on her life and to seek her intercession, especially for those struggling with mental health issues. The prayer offers hope, reminding us that faith provides strength and connection in even the most difficult times.

Ultimately, using this oil can help create a sacred space for meditation and healing. Whether used during prayer or simply for its soothing aroma, it embodies St. Christina’s gentle spirit.

Let her presence guide you. Embrace her legacy. And allow her enduring light to lead you on your path to peace, strength, and spiritual healing.
