Abstract

Sv. Leopold Mandić je rođen 12.5.1866. u Herceg Novom, a umro je 30.7.1942. u Padovi, u Italiji. Odmalena je bio poseban. Nije težio za materijalnim stvarima, te je davao sve drugima. Rado je dijelio s drugima. Sa 16.godina je otišao u samostan. Oblači habit. U kapucinskom samostanu je puno učio i strogo postio. Zalagao se za jedinstvo kršćana, za pomirenje pravoslavaca i katolika. Pisao je pisma vjernicima, većinu pisma je pisao ženama. Nije dobro znao talijanski. Svojim pošiljateljima je uvijek pisao sažete i lake odgovore. U ispovjedaonici je ispovijedao 40 godina. Predavao je patrologiju u kapucinskom samostanu. Dobro je poznavao teologiju. Bio je poslušan i ponizan. U ovomu radu su korištene knjige O. Hadrijana Boraka Spisi svetoga Leopolda Mandića i poznata knjiga o sv. Leopoldu, a to je Apostol Božjeg milosrđa od Giovannija Lazzara. S kolegom Remigio Battel je napisao i knjigu Iz dubine svoga siromašnoga srca. Cilj istraživanja ovog rada je zašto se sv. Leopold Mandić posvetio kapucinskom životu i otkriti značajke njegovih pisama. Kakvu prisutnost je on ostavio na nama. Zašto se on naziva svecem prijateljem? Zaključili smo da je cijeli svoj život proveo u ispovjedaonici i da je prepoznao osobine vjernika. Njegova neostvarena želja je bila za pomirbom katolika i pravoslavaca. Svjedočanstva ljudi koja su upoznala sv. Leopolda. Njegova pisma mogu biti korisna i danas zato što je dao savjet koji je koristan. Njegova pisma i spisi su dokazi kako je on bio pravedan ispovjednik i njegova upornost da ljudi budu pravedni.

Abstract (english)

Saint Leopold Mandić was born on May 12, 1866. in Herceg Novi, and died on July 30, 1942. in Padua, Italy. He was different since childhood. He did not strive for material things, and he gave everything to others. He was happy to share with others. At the age of 16, he went to a monastery and put on a habit. In the Capuchin monastery, he studied a lot and fasted strictly. He advocated for the unity of Christians, for the reconciliation of Orthodox and Catholics. He wrote letters to believers, most of them to women. He didn't speak Italian well. He always wrote concise and simple answers to his senders. He confessed for 40 years. He taught patrology in the Capuchin monastery. He knew theology well. He was obedient and humble. In this work the books of Father Hadrijan Borak, The Writings of St. Leopold Bogdan Mandić and the well-known book about St. Leopold, the Apostle of Divine Mercy by Giovanni Lazzaro, have been used. With his colleague Remigio Battel, he also wrote the book From the Depths of His Poor Heart. The goal of research in this paper is why Saint Leopold Mandić devoted himself to the Capuchin life and to discover the features of his letters. What a presence he left on us. Why is he called a saint friend? We concluded that he spent his whole life in the confessional and that he recognized the characteristics of believers. His unfulfilled wish was for the reconciliation of Catholics and Orthodox. Testimonies of people who met St. Leopold. His letters can still be useful today because he gave advice that is useful. His letters and writings are proof that he was a fair confessor and his insistence that people be fair too.
