Gratitude and Grit tells the startling story of a simple friar whose loving concern for everyday people dramatically transformed thousands of lives. A warm, straightforward account of Solanus Casey's life from someone who knew him personally, this book is a testament to the fact that God is present in even the most unlikely places. Detroit in the first half of the twentieth century was a place of industry, a place of hard work, grit, and determination-an unexpected place to find miracles. But God does some of his best work in unexpected places, and so Detroit became home to one of the Church's most gentle and humble souls, a Capuchin Franciscan now known as Blessed Solanus Casey. From his simple cell at the monastery where he worked as doorkeeper, Casey's ministry of spiritual counsel and divine healing captivated the Motor City-and eventually, the world. This reissue of Meet Solanus Casey: Miracle Worker and Spiritual Counselor includes a new foreword from Edward Foley, OFM Cap, vice-postulator for the cause of Solanus Casey's canonization.
