Thank you for posting this, what a wonderful story. I will keep an eye out for more on his cause.
Great post, Salvation. I’ve also always been interested in the Holy Doorman. Somehow I think he might humbly say being venerable is enough recognition for him.
One great feature of his life is the way he handled deep disappointment. I’m having a tough time right now and struggling to handle it with humility and patience. I will pray for Solanus’s help and take his advice about the novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
I had 12 years of Catholic school and am so grateful. There were many great teachers; of course, it’s human nature to focus on the kooks. They shock us and the incidents are burned into our young brains. One year, our teacher was having a nervous breakdown in front of her class for months. We eventually got a sub, but none of us could figure out what was wrong with her. Looking back, it’s obvious she was struggling.
