“Joseph was handed a sheep, which he placed on his neck while holding its
feet, repeatedly telling the Guardian Father, ‘Shepherd boy, the little
sheep.’ The impassioned Father Joseph then gave a shout and threw
away the sheep, moving very quickly with a leap to an area of the garden
where he stood motionless, his open, still eyes toward the Sun, while
flies walked on his pupils without any reaction from him.” Testimony of Fr. G.M. da Ancona
