<I>Gratitude and Grit </I>tells the startling story of the simple friar whose loving concern for everyday people dramatically transformed thousands of lives. A warm, straightforward account of Casey&rsquo;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. <BR />Detroit in the first half of the twentieth century was a place of industry, a place of hard work, grit, and determination&mdash;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&rsquo;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&rsquo;s ministry of spiritual counsel and divine healing captivated the Motor City&mdash;and eventually, the world.<BR />This reissue of <I>Meet Solanus Casey: Miracle Worker and Spiritual Counselor</I> includes a new foreword from Edward Foley, OFM Cap, vice postulator for the cause of Solanus Casey&rsquo;s canonization.<BR />
