Bilocation

The story of South American and catholic mystic who was a lay brother . Amazing that such an individual was able to live a life of utter simplicity and humility . He had the gift to heal , speaking with animals and to be seen in more than one place at a time as to help and render service to the sick and needy. Amazing afro -Hispanic lad.
