St. Joseph of Cupertino

St. Joseph of Cupertino

priest, Franciscan · 1603 – 1663
Seek the things that are above, where Christ is.
— Col 3:1

A clumsy boy thrown out of a friary for incompetence. Finally he was accepted as a servant and became a priest only by luck in his exam. In prayer he fell into ecstasies and, witnesses say, levitated. He is the patron of students before exams. God chooses the clumsy.
