Western Christians who are working
for greater dialogue with Orthodox
Christians may be reaping the fruits
of Father Leopold’s prayers.
A native of Croatia, Leopold joined
the Capuchin Franciscans and was ordained several
years later in spite of several health problems. He could
not speak loudly enough to preach publicly. For many
years he also suffered from severe arthritis, poor
eyesight and a stomach ailment.
Leopold taught patrology, the study of the Church
Fathers, to the clerics of his province for several years,
but he is best known for his work in the confessional,
where he sometimes spent 13-15 hours a day. Several
bishops sought out his spiritual advice.
Leopold’s dream was to go to the Orthodox Christians
and work for the reunion of Roman Catholicism and
Orthodoxy. His health never permitted it…
At a time when Pope Pius XII said that the greatest sin
of our time is “to have lost all sense of sin,” Leopold
had a profound sense of sin and an even firmer sense of
God’s grace awaiting human cooperation.
Leopold died on July 30, 1942, canonized in 1982.
Quote:
Leopold used to repeat to himself: “Remember that you
have been sent for the salvation of people, not because
of your own merits, since it is the Lord Jesus and
not you who died for the salvation of souls.... I must
cooperate with the divine goodness of our Lord who
has deigned to choose me so that by my ministry, the
divine promise would be fulfilled: ‘There will be only
one flock and one shepherd’” (John 10:16).

Year of Mercy
The Corporal Works of Mercy
The Corporal Works of Mercy are found in the
teachings of Jesus and give us a model for how
we should treat all others, as if they were Christ in
disguise. They “are charitable actions by which we
help our neighbors in their bodily needs” (USCCA).
They respond to the basic needs of humanity as we
journey together through this life.
The seven Corporal Works of Mercy are listed
below. We will highlight each work of mercy every
week with suggestions and words of advice for
living them out in our daily lives.
• Feed the hungry
• Visit the prisoners
• Give Drink to the thirsty • Bury the dead
• Shelter the homeless
• Give alms to the poor
• Visit the sick
Give alms to the poor
Donate money to organizations that have the ability to
provide support and services for those in need. Do
research and find organizations that put people in need
first, rather than profit.
• Skip the morning latte and put that money in the
collection basket at church.
• Find a charity that is meaningful to you and volunteer
your time or donate.
• This Lent, give up eating out at restaurants. Pack your
meals and donate the extra money to charities.
• Participate in Operation Rice Bowl …
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;

Dominican Sisters Bake Sale –
The Dominican Sisters will hold a
Bake Sale on the weekend of August
6 & 7. They will be selling bread,
brownies, apple pie and blueberry pie. These are all baked
according to the Dominican Sisters recipes. The proceeds
from the sale will be used to buy medical supplies for their
mission to support lepers.
KEEP PRAYING
St. Monica, whose feast we celebrate in August,
is often known as “the persistent mother.” She
watched her oldest son, Augustine, turn his back on
his Christian faith.
Monica was exasperated. For years she gave up
talking directly to her son on the advice of a local
bishop, who told her that it was better to talk to
God about Augustine then to Augustine about God.
The mother never gave up praying for her son.
Eventually Augustine gave up his wild ways, was
baptized, and later ordained and named bishop of
Hippo. St. Augustine went on to become one of the
Church’s greatest scholars.
Today’s readings address the importance of
persistent prayer. Abraham, in spite of trepidation
that he is bothering the Lord, continues to ask about
the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus, in Luke’s
Gospel, tells his disciples to “ask and you will
receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door
will be opened to you” (Luke 11:9). This is our
charge: keep praying.
