Sure thing. Masses used to be earlier so people could attend. It makes a difference to go more than once week (he says :p). Regular attendance is needed especially with so many obstacles to living one’s belief around all the time.

I did wonder about the terms of ‘religious equality’, when it is, that companies can pressure Christians to work on Sundays. Maybe this goes against the contract - the small writing - for them to apply pressure on this matter?!

Our Masses are “early” (7:00 am), but I also work early.

Nuestra Señora del Pilar is the patron of Spain and all Hispanic peoples. October 12, 1492, the feast of the Virgin of the Pillar, is the day Christopher Columbus first sighted American land, and when the first Mass in the Americas was celebrated.

Very cool. 👍

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.

Such being an extraordinary grace…it is not something to be sought…

So stop working on it. 🙂

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing. I had only heard of Our Lady of the Pillar until now. I am travelling to Spain in a couple of weeks, so I will try to get to the Basilica-Cathedral!

To add something to the subject of bilocation:
  • Servant of God Sr./Mother Yvonne Aimee was known to bilocate. On one occasion, she was observed sitting at her desk (writing, I think) by one of the Sisters in her community. Shortly after, this same Sister saw Mother Yvonne cleaning downstairs. How could this be, she thought. So she returned upstairs, only to find Mother Yvonne busy in her study. But how?
The Sister fetched another Sister, and asked her to go downstairs; she herself would remain upstairs. Surely enough, Mother Yvonne was busy working away in both places at the same time.
  • On another occasion, Yvonne Aimee bilocated to a submarine and helped save some men. Her body was somehow covered in seawater.
  • Servant of God Sr. Josefa Menendez was often taken to Hell in order to expiate the sins of others, and to obtain precious graces for the salvation of souls. Despite remaining in the same “lifeless” state in her convent, her religious habit was found to have burn marks on it.
  • Ven. Marthe Robin is another great mystic who was known to bilocate. One day, her spiritual director-to-be, Fr. Finet, was nearly crushed to death. He would have been were it not for the bilocatory (I just coined that term… ha!) intervention of Ven. Marthe Robin.
When asked how she bilocated, Marthe Robin replied: “I travel in God!” What a remarkably simple, yet sound and profound answer. ‘For in him we live, and move, and are; as some also of your own poets said: For we are also his offspring.’ (Acts 17:28)
  • Another incident of bilocation that I know of was witnessed by my friend’s grandfather; they are both “spiritual children” of St. Padre Pio.
Basically, my friend’s grandfather was given the opportunity to serve at one of St. Padre Pio’s Masses. He said yes, of course.

Some time into the Mass, St. Padre Pio appeared almost immobile. Ten minutes passed; still, immobile. Fifteen minutes; same thing. Half and hour. One hour.

It was not long before a significant period of time had elapsed, when, suddenly, Padre Pio seemed to “snap back” into reality. What had happened?

Later, Padre Pio gave a remarkable explanation to those present at Mass. “I just attended the death of the Pope.” (paraphrase). There is no way that he could have known this information by any natural means, for the holy Pontiff had just passed away, as was later made known. Evidently, Almighty God desired that Padre Pio be present at the death of His child, the Vicar of Christ. What better child to present than St. Padre Pio, whose obedience to the Holy Father was limitless!
  • Those who accept the possibility of bilocation should have no problem believing that Jesus is present in every Sacred Host.
 
Zaragoza, Spain.

Been there (the hard way; no bilicational body on me :))

Nice coinage!

I enjoyed this post immensely and looked up some of these saints. The visiting-Hell saint is particularly interesting. This must be one of the great things about religious life, that one can put everything into context spiritually. It goes to show how much every Catholic could do with a spiritual director, when such possible intimacy is to be lived with our Creator, and when everything is limitlessly possible.
 
St. Clare who would see Mass though confined to her bed, notably one Christmas Eve.
 
I’m kind of an odd looking dude and I’ve had people say I saw you so and so the other day when in reality I was at home or something. It happens even among average Men and Women.

St. Faustina as well, had the gift of bilocation.

Here is a link from the Vatican’s website about her life, where this is mentioned where it described her gifts and abilities:

From the link you provided:

‘The Lord Jesus chose Sr. Mary Faustina as the Apostle and “Secretary” of His Mercy, so that she could tell the world about His great message. In the Old Covenant — He said to her —I sent prophets wielding thunderbolts to My people. Today I am sending you with My mercy to the people of the whole world. I do not want to punish aching mankind, but I desire to heal it, pressing it to My Merciful Heart (Diary 1588).’

Although this document refers to her ‘Sr’ and ‘Blessed’, she has been canonised and is a saint of the CC. She is a special saint. I love the way our Lord calls her His “Secretary of Mercy”.

Her diary is an awesome work. It is really “deep.” I have underlined so many parts of it, as important and meaningful to me. I don’t think that I have ever read anything that has ever affected me so deeply, in a personal sense. In my opinion, it’s so mind-blowing, really.

I don’t think that anyone can read it, and not be affected by it, in some way.

I read some words on here of hers the other day. They were really hopeful and consoling. Thanks. Might pick up her diary again at some point. Will check the link!

It’s an amazing book. I can only read it a little bit at a time, because there is so much heavy reading to absorb at one time.

haha, thanks!

Yes, Sr. Josefa is a marvel. You’re absolutely right; each of us can be instrumental in God’s work.

“One faithful soul can repair and obtain mercy for many ungrateful ones… Every soul can be instrumental in this sublime work [saving souls]…”
