Submission Statement: This is not a Meme. It is a painting of Saint Joseph of Cupertino. He was said to have Levitated in front of crowds numerous times.
St. Joseph of Cupertino (1603-1663) was a saint. He was eventually admitted into the Franciscan order — after many failures to learn a trade. At his acceptance, Joseph was placed in charge of taking care of the abbey’s horses. It was then that St. Joseph began praying before a broken Statue of Mary in the stable where he worked, and his levitations began during these times of prayer before the Virgin Mary statue.
Ultimately, he was able to become a priest, and over 70 times while he was saying mass or praying, he would go into an ecstasy and float in the air. Finally, his contemporaries had to restrict him to the church’s balcony because of the uproar his levitations would cause the people observing him. St. Joseph of Copertino (1603–1663) sometimes hovered a few inches above the ground, sometimes flew high in the air—in front of large crowds all over Italy. The church canonization process involves in-depth investigations, and thus many written records, including 150 eyewitness testimonies, providing detailed information about Cupertino’s levitations.
The Original Flying Nun – St. Teresa of Avila:
St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582) was a Doctor of the Catholic Church. This was no small or insignificant title. A Doctor of the Church is a saint whose writings have been of great advantage to the entire church, no matter which century they are read in. Of thousands of Catholic saints, there are only 33 Doctors of the Church. Teresa’s contribution was her writing and teaching on prayer. She was the founder of the discalced Carmelite nuns.
Teresa’s levitations occurred during times of deep prayer. She regarded her levitations as chastisement from God. When she would feel like God was going to levitate her body, she would lie down on the ground and ask her sister nuns to sit on her and hold her down. She continually begged God to stop causing her to levitate in public.
It is quite fascinating when you come across numerous accounts of people who claim to have “Levitated” as children. Others remember actually “Breathing Underwater”. Children do have active imaginations. But there seems to be many who remembered “Past Lives”. Some who could see and communicate with deceased relatives. My theory is that very young children under 5 still have a connection to the Astral Afterlife in which these abilities are commonplace. Young children need many years to be programmed with our “Limitations” and learn to forget their advanced abilities…
