Spisi svetoga Leopolda Bogdana Mandića

The book The Writings of Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandić published by Kršćanska sadašnjost (1992) is a valuable spiritual and historical collection that brings together in one place the authentic written heritage of one of the most beloved Croatian saints. Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandić, a Capuchin and tireless minister of the sacrament of reconciliation in Padua, left a deep insight into his exceptional spirituality, humility, and devoted service to God and people through his written legacy — personal letters, official correspondence, spiritual notes, and private vows.

The central thread that permeates these writings is Leopold's unwavering commitment to ecumenism and his ardent desire for the reunification of the Eastern and Western Churches. Through the lines written, the reader discovers his sacrifice, complete devotion to sinners in the confessional, and infinite trust in God's mercy and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Prepared with great historiographical and theological care, this edition offers an invaluable source for understanding the saint's inner life, missionary zeal, and theological reflections, making it essential reading for all students of Christian spirituality and admirers of the figure and work of St. Leopold.
