In case you missed it there is a wonderful piece on stigmatics on the web site , 'Mystics of the Church' just added. http://www.mysticsofthechurch.com/2014/02/remarkable-facts-concerning-stigmata.html
What an incredible website. Reading about the Mystic Victim Souls will open eyes about what it is to be a TRUE Christian. Many of my favorite saints are mystics. The greatest people to ever live(Besides Jesus and Mary of course).
I did not see this thread of the forum back in 2014 but I knew this man as he grew up grew old in the town I live in and passed on to our Lord Jesus Christ. He gave me a job as a machinist at the machining plant he was head Forman of. Very proud to have known him. It was a couple of years after he retired that he wore the gift of Jesus. At times he said it was excruciating pain but always lovingly accepted it. Irving is currently going through the process to be venerated as a saint. Please pray for Irving. Thank you
