A New Jersey priest spearheading the drive to canonize Venezuelan stigmatic and seer Maria Esperanza Medrano de Bianchini of Caracas writes in a new book of an astonishing case of bilocation, the phenomenon in which a mystic is said to seem to be in two places at once and one reported around the great Italian mystic, Saint Padre Pio (whom Esperanza knew). Hard-pressed to explain it, Padre Pio called it a prolongation of his personality. Saints such as Anthony of Padua and Alphonsus Liguori also reportedly experienced it. We ourselves have spoken to a witness of one Esperanza bilocation that occurred when Maria was suddenly said to have appeared in a bedroom during a crisis moment. There are other cases. Father Timothy E. Byerley, Ph.D., pastor of Mary Queen of All Saints Parish in Pennsauken and vice-postulator for the Beatification and Canonization of Esperanza (whose current status is Servant of God), says in the book, Maria Esperanza and the Grace of Betania: Gods plan for healing the family and society in the third millennium, that the instance in question took place on August 9, 1990, when Esperanza was with her family in Rome.
