Wow, thats interesting, its happened to quiet a few saints, hasn't it? Did it just happen?

Padre Pio had the stigmata on his hands (when I was a kid we knew an elderly man who had been an alter server for Padre Pio when he was a boy, he even had one [or maybe it was a full pair] of his gloves). St. Rita had a thorn stigmata on her forehead, as did Anne Catherine Emerich (as I recall).... just to name a few.

St. Francis of Assisi, too. And I know there are some Dominican saints... I just need to think....

Little Audrey, as she's called, is praying for our Sisters of St. Lazarus Raised to be founded--and has been for several years now.

If the sisters were up and running, I'm almost sure there'd be two or three working in MA with her.

Blessings,

Anyone know if the Vatican has said anything on Fr. James Bruse from Virgina or Fr. Zlatko Sudac from Croatia?

I just cut and pasted : I got the list from New Advent's Catholic Encyclopedia.... It didn't have Padre Pio on it considering the one on the net is from 1918 I believe...

Hi! I really love little Audrey too. Here is her site: [url="http://www.littleaudreysanto.org/"]http://www.littleaudreysanto.org/[/url] There's something so special about her innocense and love. It is very sorrowful how the world goes on as it is with so much sin and need of conversion, as Little Audrey remains on her bed suffering for us all. She is actually 22 years old now. She is a good reminder to us discerning religious life, of our calling too to offer our lives selflessly to Christ for the salvation of the world. May she inspire each of us to do all we can during our short time in this world.
