n this episode of The Daily Disciple, we explore the extraordinary life of St. Joseph of Cupertino, a man who was poor, uneducated, repeatedly rejected, and misunderstood — yet completely surrendered to God. From being born in a stable, to failing at nearly everything the world values, to becoming one of the most mystifying saints in Church history, Joseph’s life reveals how God works powerfully through weakness.

Together, we unpack his struggles, his obedience, his deep love for Jesus and Mary, and the miraculous ecstasies that made him famous — and uncomfortable. More importantly, we reflect on what his life teaches us about humility, trust, and allowing God to lift us when we feel unworthy or unseen.

Whether you’re feeling discouraged, overlooked, or simply striving to grow in holiness, this episode is a reminder that God does not choose the qualified — He qualifies the humble.

🎧 Listen in and discover how surrender can make the soul rise.

In this episode, I remember Father Paul Jerome, a Trappist monk of the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina, California, who was my mentor and confessor before his death.

This is not a biography, nor a disclosure of what was spoken in sacred spaces. It is a personal reflection on the quiet influence of a monk who taught me the power of listening, patience, and grace. Through silence, questions, and presence, Father Paul helped shape my spiritual life in ways that continue long after his passing.

This episode is about mentorship, monastic wisdom, and the enduring impact of a life lived quietly and faithfully.

Still one more ep tomorrow
