This page has been set up to promote the message of African stigmatist - Reverend Sister Josephine Sul of Luiza Diocese. She is a religious of the congregation of Our Lady of Grace, Tshilomba (Tielen), Eastern Kasai in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

On 2nd March 1990, in a direct appearance, Our Lord Jesus Christ said to Sister Josephine in the local dialect "I choose you now so that we can save people by your sufferings.  Your body will suffer thus you will bleed at the head and at the side." 

Sister Josephine physically lives a scene from The Passion of Our Lord and feels the pains in her body for several days.  It is so strong that she does not close her eyes at night during the days that follow... TO CARRY IN HER BODY THE PAIN WHICH OUR LORD STILL FEELS TODAY WHEN WE SIN. 

And to take the suffering in the place of all those who suffer from injustice: those who risk a catastrophe and obvious injustice.

The bleedings occur at the time of Lent, and especially during Holy Week, and on the feasts of Jesus i.e. Easter Sunday, Holy Trinity, Transfiguration, Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart, Holy Cross, Christ The King, Holy Innocents, Nativity and Epiphany.

In addition she can also bleed to counter a situation for which the need requires a sacrifice, for example at the time of the genocide in Rwanda.
