Padre Pio's stigmata and my mark
I can't really get with the skeptical view from Catholic or non-believer alike. I had a trippy stigmata of sorts in August that lasted for 3 days. I can't explain it. It spooked me that much. It was not on my hand but on my wrist where I plan to be branded with a cross when my project gets completed. It built up on my wrist for days as a straight line. It had no burning in the contour sense. It was itchy, gray, and on what I didn't then would be my last day with this, I found porn in front of a coffee shop where I study. I burnt it in public. I guess it made me very sad when watching the Padre Pio film from 2000. I don't think my stigmata will ever come back. It was a bizarre religious experience. It's a secret that only I and God know about, with exception to my husband, who looked at it on the third day when I told him about it. I would have been very frightened but I've been there and done that for years in the sense of how frightened I would get during my translation project: total sensory deprivation, voices, crazy stuff that I'd have to recall as I don't really look back hard on my feelings (they have to be rekindled). I just learned to let the Heavens do what they will. You can't fight it. You have to become it. So when the Stigmata started, I was just thinking that's weird, then rubbing it. It felt soothing in a way. And the line never went away. It kept getting longer. And it stopped a bit longer than I would have had that cross branded on me. The stigmata told me how long it is to be. It was absolutely a miracle from God. It was a really mystical experience
