SAINT OF THE WEEK Blessed Solanus Casey’s Story

Barney Casey became one of Detroit’s best-known priests even though he was not allowed to preach formally or to

hear confessions! He entered St. Francis Seminary in Milwaukee—where he found the studies difficult. He left

there, and in 1896, joined the Capuchins in Detroit, taking the name Solanus. His studies for the priesthood

were again arduous. On July 24, 1904, Solanus was ordained, but because his knowledge of theology was

judged to be weak, he was not given permission to hear confessions or to preach. A Franciscan Capuchin who knew him well said this annoying restriction “brought

forth in him a greatness and a holiness that might never have been realized in any other way.”

James Derum, his biographer writes, “For, though he was forbidden to deliver doctrinal sermons, he could give

inspirational talks, or feverinos, as the Capuchins termed them.” His spiritual fire deeply impressed his listeners. Many people considered him instrumental in cures and other blessings they received. Father Solanus’ sense of

God’s providence inspired many of his visitors. “Blessed be God in all his designs” was one of his favorite expressions.

The many friends of Father Solanus helped the Capuchins begin a soup kitchen during the Depression.

Capuchins are still feeding the hungry there today. In failing health, Solanus was transferred to the Capuchin novitiate in Huntington, Indiana, in 1946, where he lived for ten years until needing to be hospitalized in Detroit. Father Solanus died on July 31, 1957. An estimated 20,000

people passed by his coffin before his burial in St. Bonaventure Church in Detroit.

At the funeral Mass, the provincial Father Gerald said: “His was a life of service and love for people like me and

you. When he was not himself sick, he nevertheless suffered with and for you that were sick. When he was

not physically hungry, he hungered with people like you. He had a divine love for people. He loved people for what

he could do for them—and for God, through them.” In 1960, a Father Solanus Guild was formed in Detroit to aid Capuchin seminarians. By 1967, the guild had 5,000

members—many of them grateful recipients of his practical advice and his comforting assurance that God would not abandon them in their trials. Solanus Casey

was declared Venerable in 1995, and beatified on November 18, 2017.

SUNDAY SOUNDBITE If you’ve traveled through an airport in another

country where a different language is spoken, you know the importance of signs—graphics that tell

where to change money, catch a taxi or train, and of course, find the restroom! These signs need to be clear lest there be misunderstanding. When we

exchange more complex signs, such as in a relationship, we choose them even more carefully—

for the risk of misunderstanding is even greater. Beginning today, our Gospel readings for five weeks come from chapter six of John’s Gospel, where Jesus

is portrayed as the “Bread of Life.” In today’s selection, Jesus feeds a crowd of hungry people with a few loaves of bread and some fish. The people are

looking for a prophet–someone like Moses, who promised that a heroic figure like himself was to

come in the future. Having witnessed the sign of the feeding of the

crowd, some misunderstand and want to make Jesus king. He departs rather than be drawn into their

misguided interpretation of his purpose. Like other signs we use, those surrounding our

celebration of Eucharist are open to misunderstanding—or at least we can take them for granted. Let’s let today’s Gospel lead us more deeply

into these signs, to discover the person of Jesus Christ–present as the Bread of Life,

the very life of God. ~ Fr. Greg Friedman

SAVE THE DATE St. Anthony's Friends & Family Night at the DRIVE

on Friday, August 31 at 7:30pm. Tickets will be available at a later date.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION

John 6: 9 There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are

these for so many?

We read today about the feeding of 5 thousand. The boy offered up what little he had. Did Jesus need that to feed the people? No. But He waited

until someone - in this case, the kid - stepped-up. He waited for someone to give before

He then worked a miracle.

Jesus waits for us to step-up and give. He then takes our gift, whatever it is, to work miracles.

Ask yourself, "Is anyone missing out on a miracle of Jesus because I didn't give?"
