No photograph of St. Dymphna is shown. The honour goes to the person, and through the person to God. It is not a substitute for the life written below.
Geel, in Belgium, learned from her shrine how to take the mentally ill into ordinary homes. That may be the greater miracle: a town that did not lock its neighbors away.
