St. Robert Bellarmine notes, "They have numbered all my bones" a thing they could easily do, when his blessed hands were stretched out, and the strain on his whole body rendered his ribs and other bones so visible and so easy of counting.

"And they have looked and stared upon me." " To add to the punishment of the cross", St. Robert continues,"there was the ignominy of his nakedness. They inspected my whole person with the greatest curiosity, there being nothing to cover it."

Well, I am now crying...'Nite and God Bless.

I just thought of something else.

If Christ were nailed through the wrists, then why do all the stigmatics bleed on the palms of their hands?
