Description

Fr. Paul of Moll was a Benedictine monk in Flanders, where he developed a wide reputation for sanctity. Not only did he work miracles, but his prayers for friends and petitioners were remarkably effective, and he made numerous predictions which came true. His knowledge of heavenly topics seems almost angelic, and for this reason his friends recorded many of his sayings.FR PAUL OF MOLL: BENEDICTINE WONDER-WORKER contains a brief sketch of his life, a large number of his wonders, some of his letters, and a long list of his holy sayings, which alone are worth the price of the book. Further, it contains Pope St. Gregory the Great's short biography of St. Benedict, to whom Fr. Paul of Moll was especially devoted and whom he particularly fostered as a most powerful patron saint. Also included is an explanation of the St. Benedict medal, the most indulgenced medal in the Church, and one whose use Fr. Paul especially advocated. Fr. Paul of Moll is undoubtedly and extraordinary saint. He was often beset by the devils, regularly used the discipline on himself, and had numerous apparitions of Our Lord, Our Lady, the Saints and the Poor Souls in Purgatory. The faithful flocked to him for prayers and advice. And three years after his death, his body was found in a state of incorruption.

The first English translation, by the Rev. Patrick Nolan, O.S.B., of Erdinton, published 1907 by the Catholic Union, Port Louis, received from the Right Rev. Bishop of that diocese the following approbation:—
Having read the life of Rev. Paul of Moll, O.S.B., I do not hesitate to recommend it as a most interesting and edifying work .
It is very surprising and very consoling to find that in this age of worldliness and unbelief, the miraculous gifts of the Apostolic age are still to be found in the simple and pure of heart, such as the humble monk, Father Paul of Moll and the devout Catholics who had recourse to him .

A Short Sketch of the Life of Father Paul of Moll .

" Transitt benefaciendo ."
"He went about doing good."
February 29, 1896, an Antwerp newspaper published the following:—
"Last Monday, February 24, 1896, there died peacefully in the Lord, in the Abbey of Termonde, after a long, serious illness, the sympathetic and celebrated Father Paul. Dom Paul (in the world Francis Luyckx), a Benedictine monk, had a profound knowledge of the human heart, which he carefully concealed beneath an exterior of the greatest simplicity.
"Animated by an unbounded love for the people, he was the refuge of the poor, and especially of the afflicted. Although the lowly and humble were particularly dear to him, he was also the counselor and the confidant of persons of rank and high station in our own country, as well as in England, France, Austria, and Italy.
