What
does it matter where we go? Wherever we go, won t we be serving God
there?
Father
Solanus Casey (1870 1957) Wisconsin native, Capuchin friar, and
miracle-worker lived this motto throughout his life. By his gentle,
cheerful example, he taught others to have that same trust in God.
Wherever
he was sent whether to parishes in New York City or monasteries in
Detroit and tiny Huntington, Indiana Father Casey was widely sought
after for his wise counsel, powerful prayers, and miraculous
healings. Visitors flocked to the humble monastery doorkeeper,
seeking physical cures, advice, and spiritual renewal. Thousands of
mourners attended his funeral in July 1957, hailing him as a modern
saint.

M. Odell proves that Father Casey s witness remains more important
than ever. Featuring first-hand personal accounts and 16 pages of
photos, Father Solanus Casey takes readers past the ordinary
appearance of this self-effacing friar into his extraordinary
holiness.
