There is mention of him having had a mystical experience but I can’t find any informatin on it. Does anyone know what Saint Manuel Gonzalez Garcias’ mystical experience was?

He is one of the newly canonized saints by Pope Francis. There is just mention that he had a mystical experience but I can’t find anything on what it was.

Thank you, pianistclare for that nice link. Well, it is the website for the cause of canonization so it has to have most of the important information. As per the site and other information I found; he had a great inspiration to devote himself to the tabernacle when he was in front of one that was falling apart. I suppose that is the ‘mystical experience’, I think it was Pope Francis who mentioned he had a mystical experience. On the site you linked to, it calls the inspiration he experienced in front of a tabernacle that was in an abandoned state - a ‘charismatic grace’. I guess that must be the mystical experience I read mentioned.
“He was sent by the Archbishop of Seville, Palomares del Río (Sevilla) to preach a mission; went to the church, which he found dirty and abandoned. Kneeling before the abandoned tabernacle, before the Blessed Sacrament, Manuel Gonzalez thought the amount of abandoned shrines in the world, getting the charismatic grace that transformed his life and focused its Eucharistic works.”
I love this
:“If I would be born a thousand times; a thousand times I would be a priest.”
Woohoo!
Nice title he is given: “Bishop of the Eucharist”

"I ask to be buried next to a Tabernacle, so that my bones, after death, as my tongue and my pen in life, are saying to those who pass: there is Jesus! There He is! Do not let him be abandoned!
