History tells us that many ecstatics bear on hands, feet, brow, body lash wounds, pierced body sides, bruises produced by the beam and on wrists, by swelling and bruises caused by falls and caused by the weight of the cross bites, the crown of thorns, all signs of martyrdom suffered by the Savior on the way to Calvary. These are called visible stigmata. Others have the intense sufferings, without any outward marks, and these phenomena are called *invisible stigmata. Examples are [Father Melvin Doucette] and [Dina Belanger] also [Emmanuel Segastashya]. |
