The Gospel for today's Mass underscores simplicity and humility, the two outstanding virtues of St. Joseph of Cupertino. This holy 17th century friar showed an aptitude for neither his studies nor for almost anything else, and he had many difficulties in entering religious life, but he finally attained to great heights of holiness. A man of intense prayer, God endowed him with mystical gifts, particularly that of being raised above the ground by supernatural means. Many trials and persecutions came his way, but the lowly friar always preserved that simplicity and humility which enabled him to bear all with serenity. St. Joseph of Cupertino is a great example to us of the meekness and humility we should exhibit in carrying the daily crosses which come our way. Let us follow his lead. Ave Maria!
