Development of the Stigmata and Mystical Wounds

According to Little Rose Ferron Foundation and other sources, her stigmata and other mystical signs progressed in stages. Key phenomena:

Date / Period	Phenomenon / Wounds / Mystical Sign
End of 1926	Flagellation stigmata (wounds from scourging) appear. Little Rose Ferron RELICS
Lent, 1927	Wounds of hands and feet manifest weekly (Fridays) during Lent. Little Rose Ferron RELICS
Nov 1927	“Reception of Holy Communion without deglutition” noticed — meaning she could receive Communion but not swallow. Little Rose Ferron
January 1928	Stigmata of the crown of thorns appear: wounds/marks in forehead and temples. Little Rose Ferron Miracles of the Saints
Lent, 1929	Heart wound (“stigmata of the heart”): very intense internal pain; connected to the lance wound of Christ. Little Rose Ferron RELICS
August 1929	Tears of blood. The phenomenon of “Holy Face” (representing Christ’s face) occurs. Little Rose Ferron RELICS
After 1929	The crown‐of‐thorns wounds became more persistent. Some other wounds continued weekly but often disappeared by Saturday. The visible external stigmata (other than head) gradually faded, though she still felt the internal pains. RELICS Mystics of the Church

Effects, Witnesses, and Suffering

• Witnesses described intense pain, sometimes fainting during or after the manifestation of wounds. She would often be in such suffering that relatives, priests, or visitors would see visible bleeding and contorted limbs. RELICS Mystics of the Church
• Some visitors report that during Friday sufferings, she would sing after being asked multiple times by Christ (in her ecstasies), though she initially resisted because of weakness. Mystics of the Church
• Her stigmata and wounds often left clothing stuck to her skin; cleaning or dressing wounds was excruciating. St Gemma Galgani
• Later in life, though many visible wounds ceased (except head/crown of thorns), the sensations and internal pains persisted, particularly on Fridays. RELICS

Prophecy of Death and Final Years

• On April 13, 1929, in an ecstasy before witnesses, Rose asked Jesus how much longer she would live. The reply: “seven more years.” She then counted on her fingers and stopped at 33 (She was about age 26-27 then). Rose Ferron Foundation of Rhode Island Mystics of the Church
• She continued suffering severe bodily deterioration: by 1936 she was largely blind, deaf, lost ability to speak, lost strength. In the last weeks/days, she was difficult to recognize physically because of her suffering (distorted face, painful expression), but at death and subsequent moments her face was reported to be serene / with a “beautiful smile.” Mystics of the Church Rose Ferron Foundation of Rhode Island

• There are reports of a fragrance of roses associated with her, especially around objects that belonged to her. She herself said that when the fragrance is present, Rose is “close to you.” Little Rose Ferron
