This Saturday. November 18, Father Solanus Casey of Detroit will be beatified.
Relegated
to being a simple doorman in his monastery, Father Solanus Casey would
have the role his superiors assigned him transformed by God, becoming
prophet, healer, and intercessor.
This extraordinary film explores the heroic life of a remarkable, modern day mystic
This extraordinary film explores the heroic life of a remarkable, modern day mystic
Known
as a wonder-worker and a powerful instrument of divine healing and
hope, he touched countless lives. His untiring attention to the sick and
poor, combined with his prayers, wise counsel, and burning faith
brought an unprecedented outpouring of grief at his death in 1957. More
than 20,000 people attended the funeral of this selfless American-born
priest.
As
a part of his canonization process, the exhumation of his body in 1987
revealed him to be "remarkably intact, and well preserved," seemingly
defying corruption. One eyewitness was astonished to see a tiny glimpse
of Fr. Solanus' piercing blue eyes again after being buried for 30
years!
A
gripping story of this priest's simple and unshakable faith in God's
goodness unfolds through interviews with his friends, colleagues,
eyewitnesses, biographers, and those direct recipients of his healing
and prophecy. Rare, never-before-seen film footage and historical
photographs are included with actual footage from the exhumation of this
exemplary Servant of God.
