Discover why Francis of Paola may be considered one of the most intriguing mystics to have ever lived.
He was a 15th century Italian Miracle Worker, and hundreds of years after his death, in a number of different countries around the world - there are Francis of Paola statues, monuments, and celebrations to honour him.
But why is Francis of Paola remembered with such love and respect?
He was renowned for his magical powers over the natural world, including the ability to command fire, move massive boulders, and converse with animals. He was said to have performed miraculous healings, even curing entire villages of the plague. He is also credited with restoring vision to the blind and raising the dead on several occasions. Although many people associate the name St. Francis with Francis of Assisi, some argue that Francis of Paola's life was even more miraculous, and even more sensational! Despite this, there is relatively little information available about him in the English language. In this video, we will share Francis Of Paola's life story, his miracles, and his inspiration.
