St. Joseph of Cupertino

By Rev. Angelo Pastrovicchi 

Few saints so powerfully reveal the reality of the supernatural life as St. Joseph of Cupertino. Known throughout history for his extraordinary ecstasies and miraculous levitations, his life stands as a striking witness to the transforming power of divine grace in a soul wholly surrendered to God. Yet beneath the famous miracles lies a man of profound humility and burning love for Christ. From a difficult childhood marked by poverty and rejection to a religious life filled with trial and misunderstanding, St. Joseph’s path was one of total self-abandonment to Divine Providence. This authoritative biography, originally composed with careful reference to official ecclesiastical processes, presents not only the wonders surrounding his life but the deeper interior transformation that made those wonders possible. In an age that often doubts the supernatural, this work serves as both a challenge and an invitation to believe more deeply and trust more completely in God’s power.
