By Patti Armstrong, EWTN News - in this age of self-aggrandizement, God has lifted up the simple, humble Father Solanus for the world to see what real success is... For how does a lowly man who died 60 years ago gather a crowd of 66,000 for the beatification? Father Solanus’ gift of miracles and prophecy attracted thousands and his gentleness and love, comforted all to came to see him, miracle or not. It seems everyone who knows of Father Solanus, knows at least one miracle story.
