Father Solanus: The Story of Solanus Casey, the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin

Father Solanus: The Story of Solanus Casey, the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin

Catherine M. Odell
4.1/5 ( ratings)
Solanus Casey, a gentle, compassionate Capuchin priest from Wisconsin, was the son of Irish immigrants. Although he worked most of his life as a monastery doorkeeper, he was often heralded as a 20th-century saint. People flocked to him looking for cures from cancer, heart disease, and tuberculosis, seeking help for broken marriages and broken lives, and hoping to find spiritual health and renewal. In 1957, at the age of 86, Father Solanus died at exactly the hour he had started his first Mass on the same day in July fifty-three years earlier. Pope John Paul II declared him venerable, the first official step toward sainthood. In showing others that a life-giving faith and a love of God can be both powerful and simple, Father Solanus is a source of encouragement and a model of virtue for the modern world.
