This extraordinary film explores the heroic life of a remarkable, modern day mystic, Father Solanus Casey, who was relegated to doing little more than being a simple doorman in his monastery. But God would transform the role his superiors assigned him, appointing it a far greater significance to be continued even beyond his earthly life, that of prophet, healer, and intercessor. Known as a wonder-worker and a powerful instrument of divine healing and hope, he touched countless lives. His untiring attention to the sick and poor, combined with his prayers, wise counsel, and burning faith brought an unprecedented outpouring of grief at his death in 1957. More than 20,000 people attended the funeral of this selfless American-born priest. As a part of his canonization process, the exhumation of his body in 1587 revealed him to be "remarkably intact, and well preserved," seemingly defying corruption. One eyewitness was astonished to see a tiny glimpse of Fr. Solanus' piercing blue eyes again after being buried for 30 years! A gripping story of this priest's simple and unshakable faith in God's goodness unfolds through interviews with his friends, colleagues, eyewitnesses, biographers, and those direct recipients of his healing and prophecy. Rare, never-before-seen film footage and historical photographs are included with actual footage from the exhumation of this exemplary Servant of God.

Blessed Anna Maria Taigi was born in Siena Italy on May 29, 1769. She married a noble man by the name of Dominico Taigi. One day while kneeling in prayer with her husband, Anna Maria felt a calling to renounce the vanities of this world that she had become accustomed to. She began to give little care to dress, and accept God's grace more in her life. She soon entered the third Order of Trinitarians in the Church of S. Carlo alle Quarto Fontane. Although she was not particularly wealthy, any spare money she had, Anna Maria would give to the poor and needy. Anna Maria began to experience ecstasies during prayer and was given many visions of the future. Anna Maria was made an instrument for many conversions, and much of her life was marked with corporal as well as spiritual suffering that she joyfully embraced.

Renowned scholar Susan Muto presents her spiritual legacy with a rich introduction to thirty Christian masters. These voices from the ancient, medieval, and modern Church have been the focus of Muto’s work for more than forty years and the trusted guides of her own spiritual life. Masters such as Benedict of Nursia, Clare of Assisi, Thomas Merton, and Teresa of Avila will help answer your most pressing spiritual questions and satisfy the deepest cravings of your heart.

From the simplicity and solitude of the desert mystics and other ancient masters to the practicality and prayerfulness of medieval saints such as Julian of Norwich and Catherine of Siena to the relatable sensibilities of modern masters such as Evelyn Underhill and Thomas Merton, Susan Muto—executive director of the Epiphany Association and dean of the Epiphany Academy of Formative Spirituality—draws deeply from the well of the Christian spiritual tradition to address some of our most pressing spiritual hungers:

The Desert Fathers teach us how to hear God above the noise of everyday life.
Augustine of Hippo acknowledges the restlessness that precedes spiritual growth.
Julian of Norwich reflects on the universality and purpose of suffering.
Jean-Pierre de Caussade explores what it means to have a heart fully surrendered to God.
Thérѐse of Lisieux shares her little way of spiritual childhood.
In each chapter, Muto introduces a spiritual master who she finds helpful in meeting a particular condition or challenge commonly faced in the Christian life and places that master within the historical and spiritual contexts of their time. Muto then introduces a classic work associated with that master, identifying key themes or principles to apply to your own life. Each chapter concludes with reflection questions to ponder individually or discuss in a group setting. Rich yet accessible, this book will fortify your soul with time-tested spiritual insight and practical wisdom so you can enter more deeply into the mystery of spiritual union with God.
