How a “Hidden Stigmatic” Can Help Our Embattled Priests

curious, hidden stigmata means its internal?

I've read of different experiences concerning this phenomenon. I have read where it is internal. I have read where the visible signs and symptoms only come out on Fridays. I have read where it is felt and visible all the time.

What do those who have it say it does?

It is a gift of sorts. Much suffering. But it is basically uniting with Jesus' sufferings on the Cross in honor of Him and his desire to bring more souls to Him through His sufferings on the Cross which saved us all willing to accept the gift He gave us by sacrificing Himself for us and our salvation. Many do not understand it themselves. I have read of Protestants that experience this as well.

Okay, I have something like that, totally internal tho. Sometimes affects my body, but usually just inward.

The scripture may also refer to it as sharing in the sufferings of Christ.
