Question

St. Boniface introduced a “Golden Mass” dedicated to these things, whose consecutive attendance over five days would spare someone from hell-fire. They’re not the Trisagion or Divine Mercy, but variations of the phrase “Holy God, Mighty God, Immortal God” are recited during a chaplet dedicated to these things that asks for pardon and mercy through their merit. St. Gertrude of Helfta prayed in honor of 5,466 of these things and rested her head against one of them to hear the Sacred Heart at St. John’s behest. They’re not corpses, but myroblytes produce a flowery (*) odor of sanctity from these things, as in Padre Pio’s (-5[1])case. (10[3])A figure (10[1])proclaims “Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe” (-5[1])after asking a skeptic to touch (10[1])these things. (10[2])One of these things on the shoulder is the least remembered and most painful. (10[2])For 10 points, stigmata correspond to what things touched by a doubting Thomas in the hands of Jesus? (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: Sacred Wounds of Jesus [or Five Sacred Wounds or Five Holy Wounds; accept answers that indicate any wound on Jesus’s body made during the crucifixion; prompt on wounds by asking “whose wounds?”; prompt on stigmata until read by asking “what do stigmata represent?”; prompt on injury or injuries]
