Patristic Quote of the Week
St. Cyril of Jerusalem: “And if ever you are visiting in cities, do not inquire simply where the House of the Lord is, - for the others, sects of the impious, attempt to call their dens the Houses of the Lord, - nor ask merely where the Church is, but where is the Catholic Church. For this is the name peculiar to this holy Church, the Mother of us all, which is the Spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God” (Catechetical Lectures 18, 26 [A.D. 350]).

Saint of the Day
(From AmericanCatholic.org)
(1603-1663)
Joseph is most
famous for levitating at prayer.
Already as a child,
Joseph showed a fondness for prayer. After a short career with the Capuchins,
he joined the Conventuals. Following a brief
assignment caring for the friary mule, Joseph began his studies for the
priesthood. Though studies were very difficult for him, Joseph gained a great
deal of knowledge from prayer. He was ordained in 1628.
Joseph’s tendency to
levitate during prayer was sometimes a cross; some people came to see this much
as they might have gone to a circus sideshow. Joseph’s gift led him to be
humble, patient and obedient, even though at times he was greatly tempted and
felt forsaken by God. He fasted and wore iron chains for much of his life.
The friars
transferred Joseph several times for his own good and for the good of the rest
of the community. He was reported to and investigated by the Inquisition; the
examiners exonerated him.
Joseph was canonized
in 1767. In the investigation preceding the canonization, 70 incidents of
levitation are recorded.
