Throughout history God has chosen certain individuals to perform extraordinary miracles. In some cases, God has allowed humble priests, religious or lay people to peek inside another person’s heart, giving them intimate knowledge of someone’s actions for the purpose of leading their soul closer to heaven.
Frequently this gift was granted within the context of the confessional, where the priest would identify the root cause of an action, or reveal sins that were omitted by the penitent.

Here are five such saints who possessed this gift and used it when it necessary.
