"It seems to me that, were we only to correspond to God's graces, continually being showered down on every one of us,we would be able to pass from being great sinners one day to be great saints the next."
Coming soon!
Blessed Solanus Casey has been suggested as a good patron saint for the sick, the poor, and those suffering setbacks or apparent failures. Blessed Solanus’ tomb is housed within the Solanus Casey Center in Detroit, Michigan, which is on the grounds of St. Bonaventure Monastery where Solanus once lived and worked. The center includes a museum with many artifacts from his life, as well as a votive chapel and opportunities for Mass and confession. Efforts are underway at St. Mary’s parish in River Falls, WI, which Solanus attended in his youth, to develop a shrine at that parish.
O God, I adore You. I give myself to You. May I be the person You want me to be, and May Your will be done in my life today.
I thank You for the gifts You gave Father Solanus. If it is Your Will, bless us with the Canonization of Father Solanus so that others may imitate and carry on his love for all the poor and suffering of our world.
As he joyfully accepted Your divine plans, I ask You, according to Your Will, to hear my prayer for… (your intention) through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
“Blessed be God in all His Designs!”
