Come & See Inspirations (C&SI)

C&SI - God's Holy Doorman: Blessed Solanus Casey OFM Cap. - 14 July 2024 (S04E34b) (podcast excerpt)

Come & See Inspirations team Season 4 Episode 34

On this weeks podcast we are joined by Fr Ed Foley OFM Cap who is Professor Emeritus of Liturgy and Music at the Catholic Theological Union who introduces us to Blessed Solanus Casey, a Capuchin friar whose cause for canonisation is underway.   

Born in America in 1870 from Irish parents, the sixth of sixteen children, Solanus Casey is one of the simple, humble and authentic saints who is an example of how holiness is accessible to everyone, while staying close to our roots and embracing our limitations. Fr Ed takes us through his life and challenges while sharing how the humble doorman who not only answered the door but ultimately came to be the reason came to the door. When he was beatified in 2017, 70,000 gathered in Detroit for the ceremony for this gentle, ordinary guy.
