Flying Saints - Levitating Holy Saints You Should Know - Humble Mystical Powers of the Holy Spirit - Monks and Nuns - Defying Gravity Towards Heavenly Realms The Flying Nun Santos

Why do certain Saints levitate? What are their secrets to defy gravity? Is it selflessness? Who are some of the most recognized Saints who share this extraordinary spiritual gift?

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (ebook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, who are some of the mystical saints the faithful saw and reported flying or levitating?

"One of the most popular, is Saint Joseph of Cupertino who witnesses saw levitate more than 70 times! He was sincerely humble and selfless with an early devotion and calling to be a Franciscan monk. He was initially denied due to issues others saw 'with his capacity to learn' and didn't feel he could keep up with the rigorous demands of study. By the grace of God, he persevered and eventually was accepted into the Jesuit Order."

"There are six notable Catholic saints who share this extraordinary gift of levitation. The saint is usually embarrassed about being seen 'hovering above the ground' and usually unaware as they are in spiritual ecstasy or 'in union with God' . . . their soul soars towards heaven forgetting they are 'still in physical form.'"

"Saint Dominic was another mystic who was seen levitating. Others included, Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Saint Miriam Baouardy, Saint Teresa of Avila, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and Saint Francis of Assisi.

"Church officials emphasize the gift of levitation is not 'earned or an inevitable result of holiness, nor merely consolations.' The above saints loved God so completely to be 'united to Him in such sweetness and purity that He pulled their souls heavenward in supernatural communion, of which the human body is powerless to resist.'"

Sagrada Familia Basilica By Antoni Gaudi - Barcelona Spain Summer - Spanish Mystics Saint Teresa of Avila - Saint John of the Cross

Our Q & A Continues With Peter Arnold, Christian Angelic Mystical Suspense Thriller Author, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story" (eBook series)

Heaven's Doorway Press - Q & A with author, Peter Arnold:

Question: Peter, in your forthcoming eBook, "Armor of Light: A Trilogy Story," one of your locations for the narrative is the 'Sagrada Familia Basilica' in Barcelona, Spain. It is now a UNESCO World Heritage site recognized for its creativity in architecture. Why did you choose this setting?

"I was blessed to visit the Sagrada Familia Basilica and it resonated deeply with me. From a distance, it looks like a sand castle. I climbed the whimsical bell towers (see pics below) which offer staggering views of the city. Antoni Gaudi, the architect, defied the odds as a testament of faith in its unconventional and truly 'revolutionary' design. Construction began in 1882 (over 142 years ago) and is now expected to be completed in 2026! Thankfully, momentum in the final completion phase has been propelled by the millions of paying tourists who now visit this world famous iconic Roman Catholic Church (Minor Basilica)."

Question: When you think of Spain, which Spanish mystics come to mind?

"Saint John of the Cross and Saint Teresa of Avila. They were born in the same era and were close friends. Saint John of the Cross was one of Spain's most beloved poets while Saint Teresa of Avila wrote a spiritual classic, 'The Interior Castle.' They both were Carmelites and both declared 'Doctors' (Teachers) of the Catholic Church."

Below is a drawing by Saint John of the Cross following a mystical vision:

This next pic below is of a random cloud formation which also resembles our Lord Jesus crucified.

Question: Do you recommend St.Teresa of Avila's book, 'The Interior Castle'?

"Yes, one of the most beautiful mystical books I've been blessed to read. She captures perfectly (through the Holy Spirit) the 'transformed soul' moving closer to God using a metaphor of a castle's inner rooms. It is a must read and a page-turner for all who seek spiritual revelation."
