Have you ever prayed or did something spiritual and experienced a strange physical change? Well some saints in the Church have experienced what we call Levitation.
I happened to stumble upon it on Google yesterday and Levitation has to do with when a body gets suspended in the air without any contact with the ground or physical force suspending it. Although some scientists have been able to remake Levitation by the use of magnets and force fields but I am talking about supernatural Levitation in the sense that this people while praying or in spiritual ecstasy tend to get suspended in the air and at times fly while it at it.
St Teresa of Avila was one saint who experiences it at times when she was kneeling down to pray and her countenance and face was said to have changed as people saw her being lifted more than one or two feet above the ground. There is also the story of St Joseph of Cupertino (1603-63) who was known to Levitate for longer hours and even flew at times. He even found himself in the air after shaking the Poe one certain time until his Superior ordered him to come down. Things such as those were actually by the power of God and no trick and did follow those who led a holy and prayerful life. In our current day, it appears that we are lacking in signs and miracles and perhaps holiness has been on the decline. It seems like the great things that happened in the church does not belong to the 21st century. I believe we need to rediscover that spirituality and way of life the Holy Saints once lived while on earth if we need to see signs such as these again.
