their parents and relatives speaking
about him and relating wonderful
things about his manner OF life, his
virtues. his extraordinary zeal. ana
above all about his prophetic spirit.
Everybody speaks of him as a re-

He then dilates on another alleged
gift of Father Catala:
From this constant and fervent
prayer seems to have resulted in Father
Magin Catala a very remarkable union
with God, which may account for his
prophetic spirit, with which he seemed
to be nearly constantly endowed; and
of this there ara many witnesses who
relate or heard related extraordinary
things. For he seemed TO see facts
