the original beefy saint

“What do you think of a man who could run all day beside a trotting horse, and be fresh enough to preach that evening? A kind of a mixture of rubber, steel, electricity and the love of God, that’s what Francis Xavier was. He was what you might call a beefy saint.”
(from THE BEEFY SAINT Chapter 1: The Rocky Mountain Priest)
looks like a real legend
Indeed he does.
There was nothing of the wilted wallflower, or second-hand banana about him!
(according to the text)
