Ever wish you could be in two places at once? Being a small business owner, that would be the coolest power ever. What? We need to roast more coffee? But wait.. Customers are coming in they need to be helped, and all our employees are taking final exams! Ta dah!! Two places at once.
St. Drogo reportedly was able to do just that. Bilocate. He was seen going to mass while simultaneously being seen working in his fields.
Incidentally, he happens to be the patron saint of coffee shop owners. Ahh.. how convenient. When asked what superpower I would like to have, I almost always say the power to be in two places at once. Just like St. Drogo!
The story goes that he was born a Flemish Noble whose mother died giving birth to him. Once he learned this, he was so filled with guilt that he practiced extreme penances. He eventually was stricken with illness that made him physically repulsive. So he became a hermit and a shepherd, revered for his holiness.
Today is the day to honor St Drogo. The patron saint of: Coffee shop owners, broken bones, bodily ills, unattractive people, dumbness, and insanity.
We're in good company, indeed.
