A prodigy when he was young, he became a lawyer when he was 16. Because he never lost a case, he was given the most important case of his career, when then he lost because of a simple mistake. Hearing an inner call from God then, he became a priest. Moved by the great ignorance of those in remote and rural areas of the faith, he devoted himself to them, even beginning the Redemptorist order to serve them. A person of great humility, when he Pope first asked him to be a bishop, he said no. Somehow he found the time to write many books, which since have poured out in great numbers of printings and editions upon the world, so that the number of his books are the great of all time.
