Today is the feast of St. Christina the Astonishing . Fr. Z wrote a bit about her here. Over a year ago the blog Shrine of the Holy Whapping featured a lovely painting about her here. Nick Cave even has a song about her:
"She soared up to the rafters
Perched on a beam up there
Cried "The stink of human sin
Is more that I can bear"
