I received my St. Dymphna Chaplet today and already had it blessed. I even prayed on it once.
How often are you supposed to pray on them per day? I assume the answer is how often you want to.
I knew something religious that my priest didn’t know. He asked me If St. Dymphna was a patron saint for the eyes and I said “no, mental illness.” He then told me she’s also for the eyes which I was fairly positive she isn’t, but I didn’t want to argue with a priest and especially didn’t want to find out later that I was wrong.
I came home and googled it. I was right.

I don’t know if all Chaplets have just the saints medal on the beginning or if some have a Crucifix but mine doesnt have a Crucifix, just the medal. Are we still supposed to make the sign of the cross when we start praying?

I do.

It’s a private devotion.

Yup! It has! :)
Does yours have a metal centerpiece of a rose? And If so, what is the image on the back of the rose? Is that Jesus, Mary or St. Dymphna? It’s so small I can’t tell, but I THINK it might be Mary.

No. It has St. Dymphna, and the other side has "pray for us." All the beads are blue, and it came with a prayer card to St. Dymphna.

Ok. I thought you bought the same one I did. Mine has a St Dymphna medal with”pray for us” where a crucifix would be and the centerpiece is the rose. It also came with a card that has instructions on how to pray the Chaplet.
Can you post a picture of yours? Mine looks exactly like the picture I posted last week. I got mine from Etsy. Where did you buy yours?
