The story of Solanus Casey is one of God working in unexpected ways, through the humblest of men.
Hello, John! The beatification of Solanus Casey was five years ago this fall, but the Capuchin Franciscan who worked wonders out of a monastery in Detroit remains a fascinating figure. Solanus was one of the Church's most gentle and unassuming souls, living in Detroit during the time when it exploded into a booming hub of industry. Even among the humble Franciscan brotherhood, he was assigned the low-level task of porter. His life is proof that God works in unexpected ways. Twenty years ago, we published a book chronicling the life of Solanus Casey, written by a man who knew him personally. This year, we've given that book an updated look and a new foreword, to introduce this fascinating future saint to a new generation of faithful readers. |
