Some MIRACLES AND WILD STUFF HAPPPENING AROUND HIM:
Preaching one night on Holy Thursday in the Church of St. Pierre du Queriox at Limoges, [France] he remembered he had to sing a Lesson of the Divine Office. Interrupting suddenly his discourse, he appeared at the same moment among the friars in choir to sing his Lesson, after which he continued his sermon. (rabbinic bilocation)
Another day preaching in the square des creux des Arenes at Limoges, he miraculously preserved his audience from the rain.
At St. Junien during the sermon, he predicted that by an artifice of the devil the pulpit would break down, but that all should remain safe and sound. And so it occurred; for while he was preaching, the pulpit was overthrown, but no one hurt; not even the saint himself. (gifts of prophecy)
In a monastery of Benedictines, where he had fallen ill, he delivered by means of his tunic one of the monks from great temptations.
Likewise, by breathing on the face of a novice (whom he had himself received into the order), he confirmed him in his vocation.
At Brive, where he had founded a convent, he preserved from the rain the maid-servant of a benefactress who was bringing some vegetables to the brethren for their meagre repast.
