 It was around this time that he joined the "Ristretto of the Twelve Apostles".On one occasion he attended Mass but fainted and was found to have had suffered an epileptic seizure; this would be something he would have to grapple with for the remainder of his life and it meant he would not be able to attend classes sometimes due to the tiredness and the pain.His desire to become a priest was strong but was hampered due to his suffering of epileptic seizures which would exclude one from the priesthood in normal circumstances.
