And what St Francesca Romana did, I find I am not able to write down.

From page 2 of the first link:

Many stigmatics seem--also like St. Francis--to have had an early life that might be characterized as notably "worldly," before coming to believe they had been called to serve Cod.

Now that is my kind of religion. Fish-based.

Being a waiter in a seafood restaurant is a noble calling indeed, and I've been characterized as "worldly" plenty of times. These scars on my hands will never go away.
