St Leopold Mandic, a Croatian Capuchin priest, was only 4-1/2 feet tall, with a stutter that kept him from the pulpit. He prayed for mission work but was assigned to hear confessions—10-15 hours a day. He prayed as if in each conversion the soul of a whole people was at stake.
Conversation
He was called Brother-Absolve-All by those who judged him too quick to forgive. He said he only followed the example of the Lord. As for the charge that he only gave small penances he said ‘I do the rest myself.” D. July 30 1942.
