- C&SI - God's Holy Doorman: Blessed Solanus Casey OFM Cap. - 14 July 2024 (S04E34)
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.
We have our regular run through liturgical odds and ends including up coming saints of the weeks and some notices. This week in particular John made reference to the 2024 National Novena at Knock which you can find out about more here.
In part three of the podcast we have our reflection on Mark 6:7-13 for the weekly Sunday gospel where Jesus sends out the disciples on the road and urging them to "Take nothing with you".
Blessed Solanus Casey
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.
