Bi-locate: he had the ability to be in 2 places at once when

God needed him to be!
Padre Pio had the ability to read souls when

he was hearing confessions!

roses followed him wherever he went!

our body. Padre Pio led a holy life, so his body has not decayed!
He is incorrupt.
B.)
St. Joseph of Cupertino
St. Joseph of Cupertino was a humble priest

that would be so caught up in the joy of
prayer that he would levitate when he was
praying!
C.) St. Vincent Ferrer had the ability to bring people back to
life!
According to one story, Vincent entered a church with a corpse inside. In front of a number
of witnesses, Vincent simply made the Sign of the Cross over the corpse, and the person
came back to life.
In one particularly impressive story, Vincent happened upon a procession for a certain man
to be executed by hanging for committing a grievous crime. Somehow, Vincent knew that
the person was innocent, and he pleaded with the government officials, but to no use.
Coincidentally, a corpse was being carried by on a stretcher at that moment. Vincent asked
the corpse, Is this man guilty? Answer me! The dead man immediately came back to life,
sat up, and said, He is not! The man then laid back down on the stretcher. When Vincent
offered the man a reward for helping to vindicate the innocent man, the man said, No,
father, for I am assured of my salvation. And so he died again right then.
D.) St. Januarius blood re-liquefies every year on his feast

day!
5 Miracles of St. Anthony

3. Miraculous Military Victories

A.) The Miracle of St. Clare and the Monstrance in 1244
St. Clare of Assisi (friends with St. Francis) was the head of her convent in Italy
Bad guy named Emperor Frederick II was attacking the city of Assisi and St. Damiens
church (where St. Clare and her nuns were) was a target
As the marauders were scaling the walls of the convent, St. Clare brought the
Monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament out and set it in sight of the enemy and prayed
for safety.
She heard a voice like the voice of a little child saying, "I will have them always in My
care." She prayed again, for the city, and again the voice came, reassuring her.
She then turned to the trembling nuns and said, "Have no fear, little daughters; trust in
Jesus."
The enemy, for no apparent reason at all, got scared and ran away and didnt attack the
convent or church!

distracted by the Black Death, The 100 Year War, and the Protestant
Reformation

world.
Pope called for help and tried to assemble The Holy League
Spain responded to the popes plea and sent Don Juan of Austria

man carried a rosary.

The Holy League miraculously won the battle
The pope contributed the victory to all the rosaries that were said for
Christian victory
The feast day was originally called Our Lady of Victory and is now called
the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary
The victory was important because it slowed the spread of Islam and
broke the spirit of the Turkish soldiers.
