Invisible stigmata

-
In some cases, stigmata are only subjectively felt and cannot be seen by others. This was the case with Saint Catherine de Ricci (1522–1589), a Florentine Dominican nun, as well as with several other stigmatics. This phenomenon is called invisible or internal stigmata.

Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1381) initially had visible wounds, but she asked in her prayers for them to become invisible and her prayer was answered.

Blood is said to have flowed seven times a day from the wounds of the Venerable Gertrude van der Oosten (1330-1358). Alerted by the many people who crowded around her to witness the miracle, she begged for the gift to be withdrawn and for her prayer to be answered. The blood stopped flowing, but traces of the wounds remained as colorful scars.

Inside the fighter, in a somewhat cramped cabin, sat a rather young, tall man with expressive features and a thick shock of black curls. The man was busily typing something on a computer, perhaps to sweeten the task while sipping a glass of whiskey. "Come on! Get the hell out of there, old geezer!" his irritated voice could be heard. As if to spite his words, the computer screen still displayed the message: " I'm sorry, Butch , the selected operation is impossible to complete." Already deeply frustrated, he threw a glass of whiskey with all his might at the metal door behind which lay the Balbina's mess hall. With a resounding crash, the glass shattered into thousands of tiny pieces,...
