The Healing Prophet: Solanus Casey

Solanus Casey, a beloved Capuchin Friar, is a candidate for Sainthood due to his ability to heal the sick, prophesize the future, and be a role model for people today. Born in 1870 on a Wisconsin farm, he had a very religious upbringing and faced various tragedies, including the death of two siblings during the Diphtheria Epidemic. Solanus turned to God for strength and guidance, and his encounter with a fatal stabbing solidified his desire to become a Priest. After struggling through years of religious studies, he was ordained a Simplex Priest and assigned to be the Doorkeeper of the Monastery, where he became known as the "Peoples Priest" and the "Holy Priest."
