Wounds

I have been reading a bit about the idea of Stigmata lately.

(And by the way, if you're looking for a fantastic novel that explores the concept, you should definitely check out "Wounded" by Claudia Mair Burney - which I read last fall and loved.)

In the meantime, tonight I read several articles about Padre Pio, a saint from the last century who had the stigmata, and thought I'd stick the links here for your interest, but mostly for my future reference.
