Thanks to the author of this page. Will scientists come up with explanations to describe the supernatural and mystical levitations of men of religion as they continue to explore quantum mechanical phenomena like the Casimir Force? Thank you Jesus. I always like this remembrance from even well back in time. One wonders why Jesus doesn’t allow modern saints to levitate on camera. It was the first of what would become many incidents of levitation which earned him the nickname “The Flying Saint.” The soaring episodes increased—in the church during Mass, in the refectory during meals with plates of food in his hands.Many times people saw him rise from the ground while saying Mass or praying. We think it makes us more credible with the unbelievers. Jordan Aumann, O.P. In fact, if anyone was watching it was anything but graceful, but it did occur as did other spiritual-natural phenomenon. The common belief is simply this: If Peter had maintained his faith in the Lord, he wouldn’t have sunk. While he (then in his twenties) was studying in Rome for a Doctorate degree, his archeology professor was taking him on a dig in southern Italy. I was just reading in Mark about Jesus walking on the water and I have to think it is scriptures like these that will keep unbelievers outside the pavilion of faith. Levitation does not seem to fall into that category. Have been reading about St. Faustina. He started to sink and called out to Jesus for help. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. Why can there not be a camera in an exorcist room- why do I have to take the persons present’s word for it that books were thrown from the shelf, etc?The Lord says, “wicked is the generation that need signs”.Incorrect – all indications are and the vast majority of the Papal Commission said first seven apparitions deemed as supernaturalIt is possible to levitate/float/walk on water. Many blessings! Simply saying that, “because God wants it that way,” is a narrow minded and flawed approach to life. The priests noticed that he was welcomed among the poorest of the poor, who saw better than others the man behind all the odd behavior. I am a believer, albeit, not a Roman Catholic, but these miracles of levitation do not strike me as the type of miracles that God would do. However, just like him I keep trying my best hoping to succeed at something in life. Reality itself is a miracle, and miracles abounded in the life of today’s saint, the Franciscan Joseph of Cupertino, who would fly and hover as though gravity – whose origins we really know not – did not apply to him. Indeed, there are stories of this happening in diabolical possession. The Church doesn’t explain away science in this fashion.
From http://saints.sqpn.com/saints-who-had-the-gift-of-levitation/ There is some evidence that he may have been subjected to an exorcism, but his levitations continued. Why do you, or anyone, want to limit God?
he says he remembered seeing that his fingers were about to be sliced of, when he blacked out. They happened because God wanted them to. Early Christians forsook marriage & sexual relations upon baptism (married couples even staying together but abstaining from sex).
This just shows how limited some can be in their minds. —- “And he, whose fortunes and dispositions have placed him in a convenient station to enjoy the fruits of this noble art; he that can with Epicurus content his ideas with the films and images that fly-off upon his senses from the superficies of things; such a man truly wise, creams off nature, leaving the sour and the dregs for philosophy and reason to lap up. What else is made up of water…Ourselves…the Human Body is over 50% water. At this time he seemed to be transformed, becoming more humble and gentle, more careful and successful at his work.
