"Terri lasted for 6 and 1/2 days last time. I wonder what God has in store this time."

I didn't want to post this just yet, but....

You saw Passion of the Christ, no doubt? Many of the details of the script were taken from the writings of Ann Emmerich, a German nun who saw, as it is said, many visions of the suffering of Jesus on the cross. She was the first (I think) to experience actual bleeding from her hands, feet and side during the latter part of her life. What does that have to do with Terri???

Ann Emmerich lived for ten years on NOTHING but the Eucharist. See above scripture! Google "Ann Emmerich!" (hope I spelled her name right).

Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich. She's a mystic right? I read her book, The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ when I was 13 or 14. If I remember correctly (and that's a pretty big if this many years later), she enumerated many details about the Passion because she saw them in her visions. Yes, she could only take water in small amounts and the Eucharist. Apparently, she is one of a handful who have lived like this. I don't know how long the others lasted.

The bleeding of the hands, etc. is called the stigmata, and St. Francis of Assisi may have been the first to have it.

The following is a list of known stigmatists who have been beatified or canonized:
