I think i read somewhere that st faustina and st padre pio could bilocate and a nun saint ( i cant recall her name) would teleport and convert tribes

Who else in saints, blesseds, venerables and servants of god could bilocate or teleport?
 
Ah, you’re thinking of Maria de Agreda. She was called “La Dama Azul” (“the woman in blue”) and preceded many of the North American missionaries, helping to cultivate tribes in the Mexico/NM/AZ/TX area and smoothed their path, although she was a cloistered nun who never left her convent walls. There were about 500 bilocations over a period of 3 years, and there were two different inquisitions into it. However, she’s most famous for having written “The Mystical City of God.”

St. Catherine d’Ricci was another cloistered nun who would bilocate in order to have conversations with St. Philip Neri.

Alphonsus Liguori had a famous bilocation experience, where he was documented to have been at Pope Clement XIV’s deathbed, although he was four days’ travel away when it happened.

St. John Bosco, St. Anthony, St. Francis Xavier, St. Martin de Porres were all famous saints who were documented to have had the gift, although there are certainly others.
 
I think many saints had the gift of bilocation.
I believe it is only given as a charism to benefit the church and for a much greater good.
St Faustina was lifted in spirit to the bed of a dying man because her prayers were desperately needed. Most all incidents of bilocation are because of the deep devotion and piety of the individual and their love for others.
 
The point of bilocation is to show us a foretaste of our resurrection bodies – you’ll recall that Jesus went all over the place after the Resurrection, with matter itself now serving him as the angry ocean waves once did. Bilocation also demonstrates the communion of the saints in Christ and His Church, which has no barrier in mere distance.
 
St Martin de Porres is a very famous saint that could bilocate and it’s written in most of his biographies.

Padre Pio is quite “modern.” Also, just because we don’t hear of it until after the people have passed and been canonized, doesn’t mean it isn’t happening right now to some.
 
I do not recall where I read this account of one of Padre Pio’s bilocation incidents, however, I think it is worth sharing. During World War II a group of bomber planes had a mission to bomb an area of Italy, which evidently was near where Padre Pio’s Capuchin Order were living, and they were flying ready to drop their cargo of bombs, but to their amazement they saw an image of a person gesturing not to come near. Obviously, they were shocked and amazed to the point that they turned around and did not carry out their mission. Upon returning to their departure point, some of the flight crew members were invited to meet some of the Capuchin Brothers and one of them happened to be Padre Pio. Many of the crew members were shocked again to recognize Padre Pio as the one they saw earlier that day on their flying mission up in the sky! The Capuchin Monestary was spared being bombed because of his bilocation gift. Perhaps because of his great holiness, he was allowed to experience a taste of our heavenly ressurrected state…to traverse the skies as angels and be anywhere at anytime. After all, our Lord appeared to the Apostles through locked doors, if you recall. He is only being allowed to experience what we all hope to if entitled to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
 
I’m preety sure Saint George Preca. First saint of Malta did this AS WELL and you could also say that he invented the light mystours since he and he got others to pray them within the rosary 50 years before pope john paul came out with it
 
All these amazing peple with amzing gifts and we have in this world alot of people who do not believe in GOD

I believe it still happens. It’s just not the “in thing” to promote holy people to the world these days. In this day of “I have to have the answer to everything” people don’t want to hear about sacred mysteries or things explained as mystical (in the Christian meaning of the word). I think this is very sad because as a result of this people lose their faith.

I think it is more common than one would suspect. It is not just “holy people” things happen to. I would suspect souls in trouble get extraordinary gifts as well, “those in most need of Thy mercy”.

I can understand a holy person bilocating to save souls or spread The Word, but I wonder why souls in trouble would need to bilocate?

I don’t know that they do, but I wouldn’t put it past God. Imagine someone with no faith, in great spiritual trouble, be a pretty amazing experience, wouldn’t it? Instant conversion, or maybe an intense journey to that. God gives great miracles to very lowly people, but it all serves His purpose in ways only He understands.

I read this in the Holy Fathers recent writings, but failed to retrieve it. I found something in this link explaining a bit better of extraordinary gifts of grace.
  • Special gifts of the Holy Spirit
The grace of the Spirit can also endow us with spiritual gifts called charisms. St. Paul tells us that these gifts take many forms such as ministry, a teacher of doctrine, prophecy, service, and zeal. Sometimes the gifts are extraordinary and miraculous, such as the gift of miracles or speaking in tongues. It is important to realize however that these gifts are meant not for the glorification of the recipient, but for the common good and service of the Church. The extraordinary gifts of tongues, miracles, interpreter of tongues and healing are not granted to all the members of the Church, but to certain individuals as decided on by the Holy Spirit. Such gifts are ordered to strengthening the faith of the Church and are oriented towards sanctifying grace.*

So lets say as an intervention, someone has an extraordinary experience and seeks answers for such. At some point the Church may get involved in some form or another. This may be far fetched, but the possibilty’s are beyond me. Hope this helps a bit. Tim
 
“Benedict XIV tells us sufficient with regard to miracles in their
relation to sanctity of life when explaining their estimate in the
cause of the beatification and canonization of the saints. He
says: It is the common opinion of theologians that the grace of
miracles is a grace gratis data, and therefore that it is given,
not only to the just but also to sinners (though only rarely).
Christ says that He knows not those who have done evil, though
they may have prophesied in His name, cast out devils in His name,
and done many wonderful works. And the Apostle said that without
charity he was nothing, though he might have faith to remove
mountains.”
