Saint Joseph of Cupertino

Today is the Feast of Saint Joseph of Cupertino. He is a Franciscan saint from the 1600's and had several mystical experiences during his life. He was not very good with taking exams and on one occasion during his seminary years, it is told that he knew the answer to only one question and it happened to be the only question he was tested on and so he was able to pass and become a Friar. 
There were several times he would levitate during prayer when he experienced mystical ecstasy. This was observed by many people who lived nearby. In one instance he was late for mass and he was seen flying in the air to get to church. These phenomena are outward signs of the tremendous devotion and love that Saint Cupertino had for God and his saints. Because of these events Saint Joseph of Cupertino is considered the patron saint of all aviators and students.
Today we invoke the special intercession of Saint Joseph of Cupertino on all students and those who aspire to be astronauts or work in the space and aviation programs around the world!!!
