Are you thinking of bilocation? St. Padre Pio was famous for this. Other saints who appeared to be in two places at the same time include St. Martin de Porres.

Ah! This might be why nothing could be found on Google to do with the topic apart from some advertising for a collection of sci-fi stories! Biorelocation sounds more like something to do with household recycling.
‘Bilocation’ it is. There are two St. Martins - the Dominican, ya? So does bilocation incorporate a kind of time travel or would it be linear?Sounds interesting. Will have a gander. And will discern what to take notice of and what to ignore. Great stuff! Thanks!
There are many stories about St. (Padre) Pio and his gift of bilocation. Here are some:Ah! This might be why nothing could be found on Google to do with the topic apart from some advertising for a collection of sci-fi stories! Biorelocation sounds more like something to do with household recycling.
Thanks.
The way I understand bilocation is That the saint may have the need to be in two places at once…e.g they may be in their convent or monestary and at the same time they may be having a conversation with for eg their spiritual director who is in another town or visiting another country…its a gift from god that god gives to be used for his church…
A gift we can’t understand, I suppose. Will check all the links though as it is fascinating. I don’t know how you managed to simultaneously place the laugh-emoticon in the upper left part of your post. I’ve seen this before…
They’re the patron saints of multitasking
I would have been employee of the year if I could bilocate, running two jobs equally well at the same time. It wouldn’t have been enough for my old boss, though. Soon he would’ve wanted me to trilocate!
My co-workers and customers seem to be under the impression that I can bilocate. I have to keep telling them that I can’t bilocate yet. Working on it, though.They’re the patron saints of multitasking

Imagine if one could work and be at home at the same time?! But then this would possibly be using the gift for wrong reasons…there is a time for all things good.
I often wish I could be at work and Mass at the same time.
Come now, you don’t mean that. Many do work on Sundays, when not in care work or the emergency services, and so I am not surprised that people end up thinking this way, DG42. Sundays are surely for family and/or rest unless someone will be in serious risk if one doesn’t work. Even then I’d say hoist them along to Mass if one has to.
I was referring to daily Mass. I miss being able to attend Mass every day and to receive communion. I refuse to work Sundays.
Sure thing. Masses used to be earlier so people could attend. It makes a difference to go more than once week (he says
). Regular attendance is needed especially with so many obstacles to living one’s belief around all the time.When you reply to a post, under the large REPLY box, there are emoticons with a dot next to them.

I work at a parish. Every Sunday from 9 AM to 9 PM.
That’s a slightly different scenario (possibly) to working in a factory or a retail job.
