Stigmata

An undated photo shows Rhoda Wise, who was declared a servant of God in 2017, with Rita Antoinette Rizzo (right), who later became Mother Angelica, founder of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). According to reports, a teenage Rizzo was taken to see Wise around 1943 in hopes of a healing for her debilitating stomach pain caused by a rare condition, which were suddenly resolved after she followed Wise's instructions to pray a novena.
