The glory of God in a holy man

We went to a prayer service where a man of prayer had been electrocuted when he was younger. Now the most remarkable thing about this man is that he's so unremarkable. You look at him and he's unassuming. He suffers from rheumatoid arthritis yet kneels before our Lord when crossing one side of the Church to the other. You'd think he's fine and not in pain to look at him since he exudes joy but he suffers. RA is horrible disease, but the man has a special gift, a special way God uses him in ministry. He has this ability to pray over people and he'll tell you what saints you need to pray to for whatever you need. Don't believe me if you wish but here's what happened to us:

He gets to Peachy and makes the sign of the cross on her forehead, prays then says:

"You are creative and are good at writing. Pray to St. Francis de Sales. For the math that you don't like to do(Eyebrows raised), pray to St. Albert the Great" 

Peach's jaw about dropped to the floor as she asked how did he know I hate math!

Monkeyboy got there late so he joined in an hour later. Again the same sign of the cross and silent prayer and this holy man of God tells monkeyboy:

"Oh boy, you need to pray to St. Francis de Sales. He'll help you out with your writing and english since you really don't like to do those. You are good in math and the sciences (and something about medical school - mama's heart drops as she says "Nooooooo, not medical school, been there - not MY son!") so you need to pray to St. Albert the Great. He'll assist you.

Medical school aside, the fact that an hour apart they get the exact same saints to pray to for opposite reasons is astounding. It makes life easier at home since we can pray them together. Secondly, he SO pegged them! Before you say he assigns every kid the same saints let me assure you a line of kids was ahead of me and Peachy and they got different saints. He had no idea Peachy and Monkeyboy were related. I wasn't standing anywhere near monkeyboy. A fact I lament because I didn't hear the whole discussion about medical school.
