Signs from God

Remember St. Francis of Assisi and Padre Pio? These two are among the better known personalities in history who are recognized by the Catholic Church as "stigmatics". There are many others who exhibited the same bodily marks, sores and sensations of pain in locations corresponding to the crucifixion wounds of Jesus.

Lately, however, Fox News came out with an exclusive, real-life video featuring Ms. Katia Rivas of Cochabamba, Bolivia, who exhibits the stigmata phenomenon; moreover, she delivers several messages direct from Christ.

Whether or not you believe the phenomenon is supernatural is immaterial; fact is, it cannot be explained by man's very limited science; nor can it be dismissed as mere trickery or slight-of-hand (pun intended). After all, it is our individual souls--if you believe in such--that are at stake here.
