The story we bring into prayer
Joseph of Cupertino's extraordinary experiences brought wonder, doubts and repeated moves between friaries. Saint John Paul II recalled the humiliations he endured and his willingness to follow the Church's guidance. Through these changes, Mass and time before the tabernacle remained central to his life.
The Pope also remembered Joseph's warmth and joy, and the hope his example offers students. His life can accompany anyone who feels misunderstood or inadequate. We can ask for help, keep learning, and take the next faithful step without making success the measure of our worth.
