  1. One day a man sent a big heavy fat bullock to St. Mocholmog. The saint said "God Bless you". The man answered "What good is God bless you?" "All right we will weigh them." said the Saint.
    They got a scales and put the bullock on one side and the Saint said "God bless you" to the other side.
    "God bless you" was the heaviest and this is known as one of St Mocholmog's Miracles.
