Why Do Stigmatists Experience Physical and Spiritual Suffering?

Question:

Why did stigmatics suffer spiritual torment?

Answer:

Those who bear the wounds of Jesus Christ, i.e., the stigmata, are members of the faithful who are blessed to share closely with the suffering our Lord experienced in his Passion and Death, e.g., St. Padre Pio.
