This is simply the story of a Priest! At a time in our Church where we are sometimes discouraged from going to confession and are told that a general confession once a year is sufficient, when children are made to receive First Holy Communion before receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation, when sin is down-played to such a degree, as with Pilate, we hear “What is sin?” when sin has been replaced by such catch words as dysfunctional, neuroses, and we are told “You’re all right; I’m all right,” along with varied terms of psychosis, it is time to learn about a Priest who devoted his entire life to bring about peace and reconciliation between man and God!
As with Jesus, Father Leopold knew man could not be whole unless his sins were forgiven. He knew and dedicated his life to fulfilling this mandate from Jesus to him and all priests, to heal through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
