The Reluctant Saint - movie

The Reluctant Saint: Maximilian Schell stars as “the flying friar”, St. Joseph of Cupertino, in this heartwarming and amazing true story of the humble Franciscan friar who literally rose to sainthood in the impoverished village of 17th century Cupertino, Italy. Joseph’s peasant mother convinces the reluctant Abbott (Ricardo Montalban) to accept her son into the monastery and by a series of miraculous incidents, the simple but pious Joseph is ordained a priest. Yet some are convinced that it is the devil,not God, who is responsible for Joseph’s miraculous powers – until a final miracle reveals to all, his true sanctity.
