Saint Joseph of Cupertino
Saint Joseph of Cupertino is the patron saint of air travelers and pilots because he was able to levitate and fly. St. Joseph was born in Cupertino in the Kingdom of Naples in on June 17, 1603. He lived a humble childhood, being raised into a poor family with a widowed mother with a short temper. His mother often scolded him for his “airy” mindset. He often forgot to do what he was told and was known to wander aimlessly around town with his mouth wide open. Saint Joseph strongly loved God and wished to live a life of religious devotion.
The Flying Saint
After a variety of attempts, he was finally accepted into the Franciscan Friars Minor Conventual to become a priest. While saying mass, St. Joseph often levitated, rising in ecstatic prayer. The community also witness him flying around outside on a regular basis. This gift of levitation is often considered a sign of sanctity. Living a life so different from others, St. Joseph of Cupertino often felt rejected. He often wore iron chains to keep himself planted on the ground. Later in his life, he was even hidden from the public, until he was later returned to a conventional community where he soon died.
Saint Joseph of Cupertino died on September 18, which is now the feast day in which he is recognized for his miraculous gifts and love for God.

Prayer
Humble and extraordinary St. Joseph of Cupertino, who while on Earth obtained a gift from God like none other, grant me a humble heart as I seek to live an extraordinary life for Christ Jesus. I beseech your grace to help me imitate your life of prayer and devotion. I implore you to pray for me that I may receive the grace to calmly and thoughtfully take this examination and for these my intentions (mention your intentions hereÂ…). Through Jesus Christ our Lord. St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us.
