I’ve enjoyed learning more about this humble man through the book Gratitud and Grir: The Life of Solanus Casey. I now pray for his canonization so that he can soon join the ranks of our heavenly saints. I highly recommend this book on the life of Blessed Solanus Casey. I found it to be very inspiring.
