Quotes from Fr. Solanus Casey:
"Man's greatness lies in being faithful to the present moment."
"God, who loves tiny beginnings, will know as He always does know, how and when to provide development."
"We do God's will best when we obey, and crucify self-will every day."
"Who can fully appreciate the privilege that God has given us of the possibility of our helping God in the work of redemption. Our lives are blended with God's."
"Let us thank God ahead of time for whatever he forsees is pleasing to Him, leaving everything at His divine disposal, including, with all its circumstances, when, where, and how He may be pleased to dispose the events of our death."
"Shake off anxiety. Last year it was something that you smile about now. Tomorrow it's about something that will not be serious if you raise your heart to God and thank Him for whatever comes." [Quoted in Br. Leo Wollenweber, O.F.M., Cap., Meet Solanus Casey, p. 123].
"Shake off excessive worry and show a little confidence in God's merciful providence." [Ibid.]
"Many are the rainbows, the sunbursts, the gentle breezes--and the hailstorms--we are liable to meet before, by the grace of God, we shall be able to tumble into our graves with the confidence of tired children into their places of peaceful slumber." [Ibid., p. 127]
