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.

Catherine 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.
