THE FLYING FRIAR

The Extraordinary Life, Mystical Experiences and Hidden Struggles of Saint Joseph of Cupertino

What if one of the most fascinating saints in Catholic history began life as a young man who struggled to learn, struggled to fit in, and struggled to find acceptance?

Saint Joseph of Cupertino's story sounds almost unbelievable.

He experienced rejection.

He struggled academically.

He worked in humble conditions.

He eventually became a Franciscan priest.

And according to traditional accounts, he experienced extraordinary states of ecstasy in which witnesses reported seeing him rise from the ground.

But there is far more to Joseph's story than the famous accounts of levitation.
